About
You’ll likely enjoy this classic, lighthearted Shakespeare farce if you like fast banter and romantic games; Not for you if Shakespearean language feels too hard to follow, or if you want more than comedic misunderstandings like in The Dish or Waitress.
Pros: witty Shakespeare banter; joyful tone; strong cast | Cons: dialogue may confuse; uneven performance notes; brisk pace
