Pretty enjoyable, 25 March 2006
8/10
Author: boxduty from Worthing, England

I was a bit worried at the beginning, (I just hate 'fire-eaters' in merry crowd scenes..and unfortunately there are jugglers and mimes too,another hate of mine)

So I was tensed from the start.

Luckily it didn't deter me, and I was able to enjoy a great performance from Michael Kitchen, and an amateur but still enjoyable one from Roger Daltry.

OK,the plot is corny, the set minimal.

So what? It's a fun production and I enjoyed it.

(I even smirked a few times)

Not the most crucial Bard Product but recommended all the same!
