★★★★½ Iago vs Hamlet

Tickets ribbitrepublic

This show riffs on Shakespeare in all the best ways.

I'm not a big fan of the Bard. I think we value far too highly four-hundred year old plays that are the equivalent of modern airplane books, and that the only reason Shakespeare is so pervasive and universally referenced is because we force it to be.

But, as a result of this forced education I got the references!

And this is a well-written play of Iago and Hamlet trying to kill each other, while also just making jokes and riffing about the situation the whole time.

It's fun, clever and engaging.
