If you're not familiar with Shakespeare, you'll likely be a bit lost, but it might not be a bad introduction. There are a lot of memorable quotes & scenes, but no attempt has been made to explain anything about them or to put them in context. I think they switched plays a couple of times without warning, too. At the end, they did a weird little bit with a woman reading a man's role & vice versa. It was still good. The Bard is meant to be listened to, not just read in cold words. ( )
