Like generations before–and after them–the youth of the 1960s rejected their parents’ values, creating their own styles of dress, language, and ideals.
This is Shakespeare that trusts its audience, trusts its actors, and trusts the joy of live theatre to do the rest.
It is not hard to understand why this play has been one of Samantha’s passion projects. Visky’s writing style is lyrical and soothing, even when addressing not-so-soothing topics.
With tons of audience involvement, it pulls you into the season with a smile.
