    Is disguise truly disguise if it becomes a part of you? That's the question I took away from Ganymede and Ianthe's jaunt through the woods. I love me a good Shakespearean sequel, especially when the verse is so pristine as such. How wonderful! Rosalind and Orlando really remind us: to thine own self be true.

    Orlando and Rosalind have never been so endearing! This short play is a brilliant piece of work, deftly written with all the rhythm and charm of Shakespeare's best comedies. The premise is wonderful, and the connection between the lovers is palpable. Produce this all over!

    So brilliant as to blind the reader. This is a fantastic short piece that delivers the Shakespearean goods. A pitch perfect recreation of the banter that the bard is celebrated for. A hearty hurrah to Monica Cross!
