Tragedy or Triumph: An Improvised Shakespearean Epic

The Spontaneous Shakespeare Company—John Hirsch Mainstage

It’s clear this company has an extremely strong grasp of the language. They are well studied and even included and improvised chorus- and rhyming couplets to end scenes! The chemistry between the performers is often extremely apparent, though I noticed here and there that energy wasn’t being matched. It was a disappointing thing to note in an otherwise fun and engaging presentation. Overall the piece is ambitious, well studied, well-performed, and fun, despite the hiccups.
