Clever, Delightful, Entertaining, Funny, Great staging

See it if you like fresh approaches to Shakespeare, enjoy physical comedy, and outdoor shenanigans.

Don't see it if you have no sense of humor or are prone to mosquito bites (but you could just wear bug spray)

Enchanting, Hilarious, Refreshing, Delightful, Must see

See it if you love Shakespeare in the park, you love great actors relishing great roles, and you enjoy a beautiful night out watching a play outdoors.

Don't see it if you hate Shakespeare, don't like interesting interpretations of classic plays or do not have funny bone in your body.
