Without a doubt, worth seeing! The simplicity of the basic set makes Shakespeare’s words alive and even more poignant. Bravo to the Director and the Cast!

I can not believe that I read this kind of review here. This production was by far the worst I have ever seen in Chicago, and for sure the worst out of the series of Broadway in Chicago. I am not talking about the show itself, but the disrespectful production that includes an inflatable set (yes, inflatable), no orchestra, and lighting that could easily be from any high school production, yet with tickets that cost almost 140 dollars.

I am ashamed to have seen this amateur production, and embarrassed to read such a review from this website. I don´t know exactly the parameters this reviewer had to write such thing. Quite sad.

Dear Chicago Critic, PLEASE share this message with my dear, old friend, Robert Ayres. We worked together at the Kennedy School at Harvard many years ago, and both would hugely enjoy reconnecting. Thank you for this humanitarian service!! Gratefully, Mary Greene
P.S. LUCKY Chicago! Robert’s a gem!!

Often I think you miss the point of a production, Tom, and that sometimes you’re too quick to pooh-pooh a risk taking production. However, in this instance you are absolutely correct. This production is an absolute mess. It really is a shame as I also agree with you that New Colony is capable of much better work.

I have been a longtime admirer of your work and Profiles does fine productions of your plays.

tom:

thanks for your nice words about this production and my play–i plan on taking a look for myself but i do love what profiles is doing and i’m glad to be a part of it. not everybody seems to like the ‘mystery’ elements of this show but i’m glad that they worked for you. you also may have written the wisest words yet penned by any critic i’ve ever read: “see this show and you be the judge.” god bless you for remembering that criticism is written in silt and not stone and that this entire process should be an enjoyable dialogue rather than snide comments whispered back and forth in the dark.

If a show is reviewed negatively than that is THAT reviewers opinion….Re-acting negatively with personal attacks is immature and unproductive….so far ALL the other reviews on this show are leaning towards Mr. Williams original review so….he’s not the only Reviewer out there not liking or recommending this production…..

I agree with Dale, and therefore Tom, 100%.

….and to the first reviewer, let’s discuss reviews, not people. Attacking on the personal level just shows you as the idiot you are.
