The show was HILARIOUS and some parts were done really well, e.g. the Othello rap, but it might not be for you if you don't like slapstick/audience interaction plays. I thought their performance on romeo and juliet was done really well and i rather wish they had stuck with that format for the rest of the play - they had gone through all of the comedies in one go in a rather sloppy manner, skipping some of the Bard's best works that I would really have liked to see, and it would have been very confusing for an audience who have not seen any one play because everything, including the references, were all jumbled up together. Hamlet dragged on for a bit too long. I felt that there were members of the audience who didn't know Shx at all and still enjoyed themselves though, which is quite a feat. They also incorporated some little bits of contemporary pop culture that added a nice touch, e.g. Miley Cyrus twerking face, that was very odd yet funny when juxtaposed with shx.
