I started reading this because I was playing in the orchestra for a production of Something Rotten, and it’s referenced so may times (often with direct quotes) that I knew I had to finally pull it off my TBR! And boy, I’m glad I did. I’ll admit, my reading of Shakespeare is a bit limited, but this might be my second favorite play yet! (Just under Twelfth Night).

This play is exquisite and a must read. If you have never read Shakespeare, make this your first choice. The twists and turns of the events in this story and the incredible intricate character development makes this one of the most amazing stories ever told. Take your time and enjoy this one, it is filled with many wonderful secrets.
