See it if you want to see some excellent actors in an entertaining, nonstandard play.

Don't see it if you take penises too seriously.

Also The two lead actors and the singer/bass were excellent. The special effect was hilarious!... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you insist on a more traditional approach to the novel.

Also While the entire cast was great, Lucy McCormick is wonderful as Katherine. Don’t miss this opportunity to see her in an amazing performance!... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see outstanding actors in a wonderful adaptation of a classical tragedy.

Also The actors didn’t have a chance with this material.

See it if you want to see some great actors in a very funny farce.

Don't see it if you do not like broad comedy.

Also This excellent adaptation of an early 17th century play is a delight: very funny and easy to follow. The actors are wonderful: it would not be fair to single anyone out for especial praise.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see excellent actors in a well-staged play.

Don't see it if you are irritated by too many obvious applause lines.

See it if you would like to see outstanding actors in an excellent, thought-provoking play.

Don't see it if you dislike non-linear plots

Also I find it hard to understand the negative reviews that this play has received on Show-Score. The actors and staging are excellent. Maybe the problem is that the play is very non-linear. The main points of the plot are established very early and then the play circles around these points ... however this works. Highly recommended!... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see excellent actors in a well-staged play that is thought provoking and often very funny.

Don't see it if you are expecting a light comedy.

Also The actors and set were outstanding. But at times, the play seemed a bit slow. Perhaps a lighter touch on the serious ideas would have helped, with more emphasis on the comic potential of the situation. For example, it is hard to believe that any constitution would include the country's position on nuclear winter.... Read more Read less

See it if you would like to see an outstanding actor in a play that is both entertaining and thought provoking.

Don't see it if you don't like (essentially) one man plays or you cannot manage 90 minutes without an intermission.

Also the play proposes some very convincing insights into the character of Othello, which would never have occurred to a white guy with a British accent.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a hilarious play with a superb cast. Tom Lenk was wonderful!

Don't see it if I'm sorry but I cannot think of any reason not to see this wonderful show.

See it if you would like to see talented actors in an entertaining & interesting version of Hamlet in a very intimate space.

Don't see it if you only enjoy traditional stagings of Shakespeare (or you don't like Shakespeare).

Also The actors were excellent, especially David Andrew Laws as Hamlet.

See it if you would like to see to an excellently acted, often very very funny, revenge tragedy.

Don't see it if you dislike early 17th century drama and see nothing funny in some slightly over-the-top ultra-violence.

Also I read the play twice just before seeing it, and was very impressed at how much clearer and more fun it was seeing it staged by a great company. It was also very interesting to see how the company (successfully and amusingly) dealt with adapting the play to a modern dress setting.

It would be unfair to single out any of the actors. They were all excellent.... Read more Read less

See it if you would like to see an entertaining Twelfth Night with some very funny moments.

Don't see it if (for some unknown reason) you want an unexpected new interpretation.

Also The acting initially seemed a bit subdued. The theater is small but a bit more energy in the first part would not be inappropriate. In the second half, after the basic plot was set up, the acting became broader and it became very funny. Maria and Sir Andrew were excellent. It was lovely watching the (supposed) confusion between Viola and Sebastian, especially when both were on stage.... Read more Read less

Also This is a lovely intimate theater. I have only seen two productions here and both have been excellent.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you want to see a perfectly written play. While the first act was very funny, the second act dragged.

Don't see it if you have difficulties understanding Northern English accents, or are expecting an evening of light entertainment.

See it if you want to see excellent actors in a mostly very funny play. The theater is small which adds to the pleasure.

Don't see it if you require perfection in a play. While most of the play is very funny, there were a couple of episodes that were not so successful.

See it if Excellent actors in a well-written, very funny play.
