Okay, I'm looking for a box that I can check that is higher than "Amazing". This was a mind blowing experience. Michael Shaw Fisher is a gift to American Theater, I was captivated from start to finish. His work never ceases to bewilder and astound. Put this first on your Must See List. ...

Beautiful singing, artful story telling and... very sneakily... a historical lesson about Shakespeare's life. I learned a lot and enjoyed it!

Three Clubs is the perfect venue for this show, as you feel like you are in a tavern with Shakespeare.
