This Shameful Yoke

Recommended by

  • Priya Ele: This Shameful Yoke

    A masterpiece in bringing hilarity and energy to Shakespearean adaptation and losing none of the intensity. Theatrically rich, confident in voice and form, and dementedly playful.

    Deliciously, irreverently high-stakes melodrama. Urso has a masterful grasp of Shakespeare's language and iambic pentameter. A feast of scheming and incompetence!
