Ambitious, Great staging, Slow

See it if You have a friend in the cast. You want to support small theatre. You enjoy engaging stage pictures.

Don't see it if You hate background noise (thumps from the ceiling 50% of show). Want consistent quality. Get confused by actors playing multiple characters

Absorbing, Ambitious, Great acting, Resonant, Riveting

See it if you are a Shakespeare fan and want to see an experimental retelling of Julius Caesar (and the acting was excellent! Cassius was AMAZING!)

Don't see it if you don't like smaller, indie theater, or want to easily follow every last detail. Some character switches was a bit confusing at first.
