For something that should be right up my alley and that kept my attention pretty well, I'm a bit disappointed at how flat and lifeless this was. Each character was a caricature of their counterpart in Hamlet, and I didn't end up carring about any of them. Overall, some great ideas, but the execution really struggled.
