Sam was upset she missed out on the best Shakespearean play ever made so was looking forward to going to the next one. While this was very good, it did not quite live up to the last. Our seats were in the very back row as I got the under 35 tickets so we had to do the bob and weave to see the performance. Also, there are just too many shuffles and whispers between us and the stage to not miss out on some of the lines. Also, just as Twelfth Night showed just how many tools an actor can bring to deliver their lines, this play showed a bit of their absence.
Which is not to say that their were not good performances, as their were. In fact I hate to use Twelfth night as the benchmark against which to judge that which follows. This was a high quality, enjoyable production... just a few notches below their last.
