I thought this was a great concept, but fell short in execution. I found the casual Shakespeare dialogue to be confusing at times. The plot took forever to develop, like a cop show where you know the killer but it takes FOREVER to reveal. Pretty accurate portrayal of a theater troupe and liberal arts college students. Could have been about 100 pages shorter.
