Don't see it if You know nothing about Hamlet. You will be very frustrated

See it if You enjoy experimental theatre with a late-night, cult comedy vibe.

Don't see it if You need to know what's happening (even though the actors are fully committed to their circumstances)

See it if You, too, are a young creative theater artist, and are interested in what another's exercises might look like if brought to an audience.

Don't see it if You are not interested in the experimental, you want a play.

See it if you like comedies

Don't see it if you don't like comedies

See it if you love an irreverent but skillful and hilarious take on the old classics

Don't see it if you're boring

See it if You appreciate a subtle essay on the absurdities of theater itself, and enjoy watching wildly talented actors having fun

Don't see it if You are stuck-up about the Shoulds and Shouldn'ts of Shakespeare, or if you don't like to think about things by yourself

See it if you're interested in theater + keeping NYC arty + willing to open your mind. TRE is great indie company exploring classics in a new light.

Don't see it if you expect to be spoon-fed a story or plot, and if you don't want to think or engage with ideas of theater and art.
