SandyindahouseJuly 25, 2025Absolutely riveting! I watched it straight through the night—Shakespeare’s words intact, and the staging is admirably restrained. The ensemble cast is super talented, with the actress playing Goneril delivering a take that diverges from the original yet somehow outshines it.
