Absorbing, Relevant, Classic, Talented cast, Engaging production

See it if you like Shakespeare; the wonderful Red Bull company; and some excellent acting. No the strongest play, but quite relevant political theme.

Don't see it if Don't want to think; hate period language or drama; are a purist who only likes Shakespeare in tights. Definitely worth seeing.

Absorbing, Clever, Great acting, Great staging, Relevant

See it if You like Shakespeare well told and well acted! With great staging to keep you engaged and interested with a relevant story.

Don't see it if You don't like long Shakespeare. It is a long winded play kept fresh by the actors, but it is still long winded.
