See it if You wanna have a good time. Not a typical show. More like an improv night with some shakespeare in it. Fun from beginning to end.

Don't see it if You are looking for a typical broadway, off broadway show. This is just a fun 90 minutes.

Funny, Entertaining, Clever

See it if You enjoy a funny, silly, sometimes raunchy, take on a Shakespeare play. It's fun, not very serious, show.

Don't see it if You don't like silly humor, don't want something that veers towards SNL doing their take on a serious play.

Ambitious, Hilarious, Entertaining

See it if You find absurdist humour in a bit of chaos

Don't see it if You prefer traditional takes on Shakespeare and linear story-telling. Avoid settings where drinking is very prevalent.

Delightful, Refreshing, Funny, Clever, Entertaining

See it if You appreciate a fusion of classic literature with irreverent humor, and the unpredictability of improv appeals to you.

Don't see it if You prefer your Shakespeare traditional and sober, or if raucous, alcohol-fueled performances aren't to your taste.
