This play is AMAZING! MJ Kaufman builds on Lyly's fairytale and gives us so much more. It is fun and touching and address the elements of a play in a very modern way. This play is an ABSOLUTE delight!

Intensely romantic,funny and one of the most exciting things I’ve seen in awhile. MJ creates an adaptation that feels super contemporary and relevant to the cultural moment.
