  1. I thought that the play was funny and I liked that they included modern stuff. They were talking about John Cena and Netflix, the actors were also very good I found. They had dances and raps that I found funny aswell. The part I enjoyed most was just looking at the clothes, especially that blue robe and blue hat that one drunk guys wore. It was like fur but shiny, sucks that you have to go to Istanbul to get it instead of Walmart.

    2. I agree with you. Actually I thought they had bought the clothes at dollarama or something like that so I was really impressed when they said they came from Turkey

  2. I found the play we watched today was really good and funny. I found the actors did a really good job at acting and they spoke really loudly and clearly. I also really liked how they made a twist to the Shakespeare play and made it more recent by adding John Cena, Netflix and some recent songs, etc. I also liked the way the actors would dance because it was really funny.

  3. I think that the play was really interesting and funny. I only knew the story because of the movie “She’s the Man” so it was good to see it with a different perspective. I liked how they put modern things in it like the songs and some jokes, and the how the figurine was really colorful and creative. The actors were great and I found impressive how they changed clothes and characters super fast. I also liked how there was a part where they invited a student to go up there and be a part of the show. In general, I had a good time.

  4. I think that they were well prepared and I could tell that they worked really hard to make this an amazing production. At first the Arabic theme was a little confusing, but in the end they explained to us that it had a historical meaning. I think the costumes, lighting, and tone of voice was well done. Overall I think it was well done.

  5. I thought the play was pretty funny and I liked that they do trends that happen in these days so it makes it more enjoyable. I thought the acting was good and I liked the way they spoke. I usually don't really enjoy Shakespeare in general but I didn't mind this play and it may change my overall idea of what I think about Shakespeare.

  6. I liked the play it was really funny! Especially when Dimitri started dancing. I didn't think the plot was that interesting but I was entertained the whole time. I really appreciated the acting and the thought that went in to the script of the play. The music choice was also very good and I liked the arabic theme. Its good way to show shakespeare to kids. I would be down to watch it again next year.

  7. I find that the play was very well performed by all the actors. It was very funny and my favorite part was when my boy young Dimi went on the stage and read the letter to the guy then danced, it was very funny. I injoed this play alot and everyone who participated in it was very good at acting and funny.

  8. I found that the play was pretty funny, but at certain points I was questioning myself as to why i was watching that play like when they were on the carpet with the birds. And the part when he started to rub his butt on the girls face in yellow tights. But besides that the rest of the play what pretty good.

  9. I found the play very amusing. They did an interesting twist of Shakespeare and they made it pretty funny. I also found it very amusing because connor was sitting right next to me and he was making some very funny comment on how they dressed or what they do. I believe my favorite part of the show was when the man wore his banana tights it was very amusing.

  12. I found that the play is very interesting and amazing. I liked it a lot. They make classic play more moderner by adding modern music. They also make the play funnier which make watching play is not as boring as I think. The part I liked the most is when the man is wearing yellow tights. That make me laugh.

    I liked the play, I've liked all of the plays that they've done. It was weird and funny at the same time. I laughed and not a lot of things make me laugh. But it was funny when Dimitri when on stage and did a bunch of other stuff. Overall, I really good play!

  14. I found that the play was really well preformed and they had funny modern jokes. And the performers were really funny and played there role really well.Out of all the plays we watch from the company MSTC I think this play was the best one out of all of them. I hope that they come next year to show another play.

  15. I enjoyed the play very much! It was so funny! From the beginning to the end. Right from the start there was that part where the guy was crying on mr. Katz, which I found supper funny! I also liked that they put modern twist to it. Like "uptown morrvolio", and all the other funny jokes. Like the actors said, we wouldn't really get it if they used queen Elisabeth the 1st jokes. Overall I thought it was a very funny play.

  16. I really enjoyed the play. I really liked the scenes where you were like what the f*** is this and started laughing your a** off. The way they interacted with the audience was spectacular and they even made good jokes after the play ended. I give this play an 6/10 but the company 10/10. They showed me that they were really giving it their all.

  17. I really enjoyed the play because it was funny. Honestly when it comes to Shakespeare the first thing that comes to my mind is some messed up English with some shitty jokes that i dont understand but the play made Shakespeares play a lot more fun for me to watch. They were funny they incorporated netflix and john cena with good music. In conclusion it was a very good play. I liked all the companys plays since grade 7. Hope they keep coming.
