Intelligent, Profound, Ambitious

See it if If you like Shakespeare, this is a very dark rendition of measure. Cast, direction is pretty well done.

Don't see it if If your not into plays on the longish side. Deep Shakespearean writing.

Imperfect shakespeare imperfectly but interestingly performed.

See it if I had never seen this play tho I was familiar with it. Small cast playing multiple roles mostly well, using minimal props and costumes.

Don't see it if You want a big production. You mind very uneven acting across the cast. Well staged but did get redundant.

Heavy, Bewildering, Consuming, Sluggish, Lengthy

See it if you are a Shakespeare fan & are interested in seeing a production of a classic that has been given a contemporary, modernized flavor.

Don't see it if you are not willing to invest almost 3 hours in its audience. Read more

Confusing, Great writing, Great acting, Ambitious

See it if If you like Shakespeare themed plays with a complicated story line. Also if you enjoy long shows with a large cast.

Don't see it if If you like easier to understand plays and if you don't appreciate Shakespeare themed plays.

Disappointing, Slow, Insipid, Excruciating, Ambitious

See it if you have no familiarity with the play and want to see the story told clearly and straightforwardly; you want to support a small company

Don't see it if you have high expectations for Shakespeare. You can't tolerate actors making obvious errors and forgetting lines. You want moral complexity

Miscast, Banal, Slow, Confusing

See it if you like this particular Shakesphere play and like supporting smaller production.

Don't see it if you're not patient enough to sit through 2+ hours. can't endure uneven performances. don't like trying to decipher shakespearean language.

Slow, Entertaining

See it if You like Shakespeare and want an entertaining evening. Enjoyable.

Don't see it if You mind a bit of a longer production. Ran over three hours with an intermission. Some actors are stronger than others.
