Clever, Fun, Refreshing, Moving

See it if You want a great intro to Shakespeare in a lively, funny, no -traditional, yet still moving performance.

Don't see it if You want to see a traditional version of the play. Also, this is a shorter version of the original, though it still feels whole.

Great acting, Thought-provoking, Intense, Enchanting, Great staging

See it if You're not sure you like Shakespeare, or you think Shakespeare can only be performed or enjoyed by a certain demographic.

Don't see it if You've seen a million R&Js already, and/or you're going to scream a silent scream if someone has made vast cuts to a beloved play.

Romantic, Must see, Great acting, Exquisite, Enchanting

See it if you are into romance and mushy gushy stuff. Also you should see it if you like literature. I love seeing things come to life(:

Don't see it if you aren't into romance and hate sad endings.
