Quirky, Great writing, Great staging, Great acting, Funny

See it if Well-acted & well-costumed in an intimate venue in B'klyn, the play is based on the mistaken identities of two sets of brothers.

Don't see it if May get lost if u don't familiarize w the plot beforehand; good diction from most actors helps u understand almost every Shakesperean word. Read more

Hammy, Fluffy, Funny, Entertaining

See it if Enjoyable community theater production of accessible, farcical Shakespeare. Madcap direction and execution. Well staged on a bare set.

Don't see it if Uneven performances, but leads are fine. Don't plan to think too hard -- it's farce!

Quirky, Great acting, Funny, Delightful, Absorbing

See it if you want to see Shakespeare acted well! This production has no budget, but is pretty solid—community theatre is alive and well in NYC.

Don't see it if you don’t understand Shakespeare. Though, honestly, the performances are strong enough that I don’t think the language barrier is a problem.

Funny, Indulgent, Dizzying, Entertaining, Clever

See it if Shakespeare's knockabout farce get the royal treatment from director Gould & company: broad characters, glitzy costumes, non-stop slapstick

Don't see it if Some actors handle the language better than others (no one is jarringly bad) & some handle the zany antics effortlessly (the two Dromios)

Quirky, Funny, Entertaining

See it if You enjoy Shakespeare or supporting amateur or community theatre productions. Is an enjoyable experience and you can tell the cast have fun.

Don't see it if You are looking for a professional theatre experience with a historically accurate design. Production is more about fun than high quality.

Entertaining, Fluffy

See it if into a version that seems to focus on the errors rather than the whole story; the principal actors were delightfully hamming it up.

Don't see it if well - it was uneven on several levels. Read more
