Your own personal experience with the play: 
Read it in LTU World Masterpieces class. Dr. Melinda Weinstein wants to help with it.
What you liked and disliked about the play: 
I liked the mysterious island setting and the magic element, as well as the themes of forgiveness, character change, and essence of what is a play. Shakespeare is a bit difficult to understand and perform, but it may be worth it.

Your own personal experience with the play: 
This was used as supplemental material when I had to (with little force) read Hamlet. It's a beautiful thing to look at a story from multiple angles.
What you liked and disliked about the play: 
I like how this variation of Hamlet shows a different perspective on the story. In the original, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are easily forgotten. In this version, they become vital to the story. If you think about it, they always were vital to the story - this play just paints the image in a far better light. On the other hand, this also detracts from Hamlet himself. It's a matter of whether one wishes to see the comedy or the tragedy of the original version at play. R & G hits home on the comedy side, as these characters come off as very goofy.

What you liked and disliked about the play: 
Would be great for 2015 (as the 150th anniversary of the Lincoln Assassination). This is the play that President Lincoln was watching when he was assassinated in 1865. I was thinking we could even entwine a re-enactment of sorts (obviously up to director)

It's awesome. Lots of flexibility and can have a lot of double casting and minimal set. The link has a script sample and opens amazingly.
