Theatre Reviews

The unlike­ly premise (to me) of mix­ing Shake­speare and improv worked very well on the after­noon I attend­ed. The show start­ed with the tra­di­tion­al improv gam­bit of ask­ing the audi­ence for prompts. But then was an impres­sive pro­logue in near-per­fect iambic pen­tame­ter. The actors then took turns on stage, per­form­ing a near­ly chaot­ic series of skits that seemed to have noth­ing to do with each oth­er, but as the action pro­gressed, ear­li­er ele­ments start­ed work­ing their way into the text, result­ing in a sat­is­fy­ing but sur­pris­ing­ly dark con­clu­sion. Each show is dif­fer­ent, so you might not have the same impres­sion as I did, but you are almost cer­tain to be enter­tained by the per­form­ers’ skill.
