pretty good tbh

Enjoyed it. Not Shakespeare's best, but still a fun romp. I loved when Maria played the old "dean bring me five can of olives" on Malvolio. And gotta love old-timey cross-dressing.

Entertaining! Not my favorite Shakespeare (or even my favorite Shakespeare comedy), but still obviously great. I need to know more about Antonio... stand up, man.
fast-paced

This is a cute little play. It's not as weighty as some other Shakespeare, but that doesn't mean that it's not as good. Shakespeare still makes the characters come alive, making you feel what they feel. Feste is definitely my favorite.

My second time reading this, I really love this play. It’s so charming and the interweaving storylines work so well together. Definitely one of my favourite Shakespeare plays.

Very funny but also oddly bittersweet towards the beginning and ending. You HAVE to watch it while reading it to fully appreciate the comedy this shits silly asf.
(I’m also biased as I’m playing Feste in a production)
