Political, Selective, Physical, Smart

See it if you’d like a physical rendering of the Bard’s great farewell to theater that has points to make—non-didactically—about colonialism.

Good storm choreography, Tempest in a bathtub

See it if You like Shakespeare in any shape or form & want to support small companies & inexperienced actors. Amusing version, but not expertly done.

Don't see it if you dislike small companies, & want your Shakespeare fully baked, expertly cast & w 16th century music, not rock & popular music. Read more

Entertaining, Great acting, Clever, Absorbing

See it if If you like a reworking of Shakespeare with contemporary music thrown in. You like decent acting.

Don't see it if You don't like small bare bones productions. However they do a lot with what they have and the sound and lights are excellent.
