Its tone recalls the fabled Bullwinkle cartoon shows.” “This irreverent deconstruction of Shakepeare's work makes a dilly of poor Willy. A fantasia of zany energy that throws together Monty Python-ish drag and Mel Brook-ish anything-for-alaugh gags.” “Fresh, energetic and funny. A wild and silly frolic.” Come see the funniest Shakespeare ever!
