This hysterical production from the Great River Shakespeare Festival is making the rounds on Twitter. I gave it a pass at first since I never watched the original tv show and figured that I wouldn’t get most of the jokes.
Wrong!
If you’ve not seen it yet, do what I did — try to identify all the wives before they’re introduced. They had me at “what is that knocking WHAT IS THAT KNOCKING!? 🙂 🙂 🙂
P.S. – I’m going to let Juliet’s use of “like” slip by…once. That was like, like, fingernails on a blackboard.
That was hilarious. Simply hilarious. (Okay, so I didn't understand quite all of it, mostly due to the fact that I haven't yet seen/read King Lear, but all the rest was funny.)
For a long time I've held the opinion that Lady M—— and Gertrude would get along well, but now I'm not so sure. And Juliet's a little young for that crowd, isn't she?
