See it if You love Shakespeare and are looking for 90 minutes of fun and laughter.
Don't see it if You're looking for a flashy show. It's tiny, multiple characters are played by more than 1 person, 1 character is played by a puppet. Read more
See it if You just need shskespeare's language and not the props or stage.
Don't see it if You are looking for an elaborately staged show.
See it if you want to enjoy the very talented (mostly non-Equity) cast seemingly having a grand time.
Don't see it if you don't like bare-bones off-off-off Broadway productions. Read more
See it if you're looking for a clear, stripped down accounting of Shakespeare’s most pastoral comedy.
Don't see it if you’re looking for an elaborate production or the complete script. Read more
See it if you're charmed by this comedy, acted with keen, admirable fervor. No sets, tiny stage, but original music & great costumes fill the bill!
Don't see it if you need fleshed-out staging, dislike actors in dual roles. My peeve—audience members with no filter on brash laughter & shout-outs to cast.
See it if Want to see a fun showing of Shakespeare. You support community theatre. The leads were particularly enjoyable.
Don't see it if Want a full Shakespeare experience (the script is cut down to fit in 90 minutes). Need full sets and props to understand/ enjoy performances
See it if you want some music with your Shakespeare as well as simple sets and engaged performers delighting you with the bard's romantic words.
Don't see it if you desire a more elaborate staging and a professional acting ensemble. These actors have fun with their roles and we enjoy their enjoyment.
See it if you like an intro to this Shakespearean play in its minimalist/abridged form and don't mind a minimalist production - in set/costume & cast.
Don't see it if you want a big production /period set & costume design typical of Shakespeare. But as consolation it makes you concentrate on the dialogues.
