I listened to the audiobook; the next best way to absorb the medium besides the play itself. Leave it to Billy the Bard to make a whimsical, frustrating, character-packed fever dream.

I do like this play, though some of its content I find a bit... dated. It's a very messy adventure that provides great fodder for dramatologists to analyse the 4 levels of narration.

In all honesty, it does show the Bard's talent, though not my favorite story.

Non la mia preferita, ma pur sempre una bella commedia.
E come sempre, la parte della rappresentazione è quella che meno mi interessata. Seve più dramma!
