I know the comments are full of gushing praise, but this show really is that delightful.
The more you know and like Shakespeare, the more there is to see and tease out in the play-within-a-play structure -- but if you're not an expert, just watch it for the fun, behind-the-scenes soap opera of a theater festival in the midst of chaos.
Paul Gross is utterly compelling as the off-his-rocker but committed-to-his-craft artistic director, but he is surrounded by a wonderful ensemble, all of whom make the dialogue snap and these characters come to life.
Truly a quirky, fun treat of a show.
