Great writing, Great singing, Great acting, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if you enjoy a play with great actors ;kudos to Griffin Sharps as Caliban;great singing, wonderful kids in the chorus:a novelty in a Skspr play

Don't see it if you feel the set is too bare even if Skspr would have never used any scenery to depict the island. Read more

Enchanting, Delightful, Absorbing

See it if You like to see a new take on a classic. You are willing to see a familiar play in a different way. The acting and singing are delightful.

Don't see it if You expect Shakespeare plays to be done in a set way. You don't like Shakespearean language.

Refreshing, Quirky, Great singing, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if you would enjoy a fresh version of the Bard's play that sticks closely to the script but updates the set and characters. Fine use of space.

Don't see it if you expect an original presentation or an elaborate staging - here the actors and young chorus bring the story alive on a nearly bare stage.

Ambitious, Great acting, Great staging, Quirky, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy the reversal of gender roles, want a diverse cast, and like having the actors incorporating the aisles and seating into the show.

Don't see it if you do not enjoy child actors or do not want to see an LGBT representation of a classic work. Warning for flashing lights at the beginning. Read more

Quirky, Entertaining, Great singing, Delightful, Ambitious

See it if You want to see a truly community theatre play w/actors of all ages, genders, physical abilities & proficiency w/Shakespeare.

Don't see it if You want a cast that's equally adept at Shakespearean verse. You prefer plays w/bigger production values. You don't want to trek to Brooklyn Read more

Theatre is Easy
July 23rd, 2019

"Not sufficiently gripping or consistently crystal-clear...What does stand out about this production, though, is the Gallery Players' vibrant commitment to inclusive casting...This 'Tempest' asks us to share Miranda's vision of a world where those differences no longer alienate us."
