Absorbing, Entertaining, Great acting, Intense, Romantic

See it if You love Shakespeare and R&J and masterful artists who carry out and excellent performance in an intimate setting.

Don't see it if You want an elaborate set/costumes or are expecting theatrical "props" outside of amazing talent.

Ambitious, Refreshing, Funny, Great staging

See it if You love Shakespeare and would enjoy seeing it in a modern abridged format. Young NYU trained actors with good foundation in theatre.

Don't see it if You can't sit for 90 minutes in a hot theatre without water or an intermission. Some uneven moments. Romeo seemed way too old for the part

Ambitious, Great writing, Intelligent, Quirky, Entertaining

See it if you like minimalist productions of classic works, you like an emphasis on comedy when it comes to Shakespeare, you want an intimate show

Don't see it if you don't have an appreciation for The Bard, or if you want to see a play with a larger cast or more detailed design (costumes, set, etc.)

Ambitious, Indulgent, Slow, Has its moments, Tries a little too hard

See it if You want to support a troupe of newly professional actors. You enjoy seeing different interpretations of Shakespeare.

Don't see it if You want a more seasoned classical cast. You want Shakespeare presented in a more traditional manner. You want a big production.

Clever, Overrated, Amateurish

See it if you love Shakespeare and don't mind well-acted but an overall amateur-like show. Well edited script though.

Don't see it if Not sure why, but felt more like a good high school/college show than a professional one.
