Despite some Casting problems and the endless schticky moments with the shepherds and trickster (Thank God for Steven Skybell), I liked it…I really liked it! Hell, I’ll go to anything with Lily Rabe. And she was really electric here.

I know Shakespeare had to appeal to the groundlings, but some of the “low humor” is just annoying as hell.

But it’s a solid Shakespeare in the park. Lovely evening

This was much better than I expected it to be. Enjoyed the evening despite it's longer running time.

This one was a mile better than the Romeo & Juliet earlier this season. Sullivan handled this tricker show much better than Ali's misguided R&J.
