A fabulous show! So wonderfully clever with an utterly crazy ending. We loved it!
This show was so much fun! These actors know what they are doing and do it SO WELL. The directing, the writing, the acting, is all so very good. If you get the chance to see this show take it!
HAAAAMMMMLEEEEEET!
A stunning show packed full of wit and heart,
With ample ref’rence to the plays love.
Each actor knows and plays their perfect part
With cleverness even when push comes to shove.
I cannot sing enough the joy you’ll get
(And more like these bring a more festive Fringe)
So run, don’t walk, to see this barebones set
Dress’d up by silly men who seek rev(fr)enge.
Iago vs Hamlet is a VERY funny show! It is a comedy show, and it is very-very well written and acted! It deals with the subjects of suicide and murder very maturely. It is a very Shakespearean type show, so if you like Shakespeare, this is the show for you!
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead meets two classic Shakespeare edge-lords. This show is hilarious, blending iambic pentameter and modern speech and satires of the classic stories to create a show that was fun from beginning to end. Both actors are amazing at their craft and the ending is ridiculous, go see this!
This would have been an easy recommendation even without the ending, but the ending pushes it into must-see territory. Clever writing and brilliant performances. Gleefully irreverent catnip for Shakespeare fans.
