Clever, Great acting, Refreshing, Great staging, Masterful

See it if You like open outdoor theater with a fresh take on modern Shakespeare production. Excellent acting and great story line. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Don't see it if You are not into outdoor theater and a Shakespeare play. Multiple scene changes that can get a bit confusing. More modern outlook.
