Great acting, Masterful, Edgy, Relevant, Ambitious

See it if you're a political animal; you want screaming passionate swordplay and fighting; nastiness appeals; Shakespeare's histories thrill; smart!

Don't see it if blood bugs you; intimate theatre immersive experience is not your thing; you want predictability or a happy ending; violence up close . . .

Intense, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if You enjoy seeing Shakespeare set against a contemporary background. Brutally relevant material considering the upcoming election.

Don't see it if You prefer a traditional approach to your Shakespeare. The show isn't bad, but it's also not great though the actors are clearly talented.

Great acting, Great staging

See it if you like Shakespeare and want to see a modern version of this show. It is very well done.

Don't see it if you don't like to be yelled at. This play has a lot of yelling and the audience is part of the show. It works for this play but be warned.

Intense, Quirky, Relevant, Resonant, Ambitious

See it if You enjoy Shakespeare plays and would cherish this rarely staged, very timely political play.

Don't see it if You try to avoid long, loud, historical plays with minimalistic staging.
