What?, Indulgent, Soporific, Ill considered, Despite the text

See it if you're fan of experimentation, always needed 2 C a Vanya /R&J mash-up, like rest of Bedlams work, recognize actors trying 2 overcome script

Don't see it if don't want 2 give 2 1/2 hours to experimentation, want actors 2 succeed in presenting abstracts, need a reason, want some sort of continuum

Interesting smash up, Five players cover casts of two plays, Quirky but clever

See it if Mostly Uncle Vanya interspersed by a scattering of scenes from Romeo and Juliet. Confusing even if you know both plays.

Don't see it if You want a coherent theatre experience. You don’t like experimental theatre.

Disappointing, Slow, Scarce half made up, Not shaped for sportive tricks, Rudely stamped

See it if you want to engage with an interesting dramaturgical experiment by a remarkable company

Don't see it if you expect the vigor and verve of a Bedlam show or you dislike Chekhov, anachronism, or disco balls. Read more

Half-baked, Great acting, Slow, Quirky, Great staging

See it if you enjoy experimental theatre, the BEDLAM company, or just plain whimsical theatre. This troupe is great, although this offering is not.

Don't see it if you are not familiar with both plays in the title, or if you simply want to stick with Stoppard for mash-ups.

Ambitious, Disappointing, Indulgent, Slow, Quirky

See it if Bedlam's quirky often irritating fusion of Shakespeare & Chekhov is episodic & heavy handed despite solid work from ensemble but well staged

Don't see it if Problem isn't the mash-up (it's more Vanya than R&J) It's the unrelenting, overwrought pace of the piece Lacks any subtly of originals

Confusing, Dizzying, Great acting, Excruciating, Indulgent

See it if you enjoy the thought of mashup between Romeo and Juliet and Uncle Vanya with energetic performances but massively confusing

Don't see it if if massively confusing mashuos don't appeal to you
