I actually had to study The Tempest in college and altho we had a really fun professor and it was a great time, we still had to read the whole book for class. I wish I had this then or back in high school, I think I would have appreciated Shakespeare way moreeee than I did!! I think this is entertaining BUT also a very useful study tool! Thank you for creating the showww!! <3
This show is so well-made! The acting, the soundscape, the stories. I’m a big theater fan but don’t get the chance to go to plays as often as I wish. Play On is always there and really never disappoints!
Amazing sound, acting that will knock your socks off, Play On! is the best modern interpretation of Shakespeare I’ve come across. I cannot believe all I have to do is hit play on Play On! To have the theater brought to my ears! Should be taught in schools. With I had it when I was in high school.
