I saw this opening night, and it was hugely fun and impressive, as expected (I'd seen them before).
The facility w Shakespearean language and themes is already top notch.
But beneath that veneer these guys are fantastic improvisers -- they listen hard and agree fast; they make big, bold choices upfront and play them with verve and smarts; they respond emotionally to everything; they play multiple characters and plot-lines w ease while simultaneously heightening the comedic absurdity in each scene and following bizarre and playful tangents at will; and they seem to have elephant-like memories for bringing things back and tying up loose ends.
Get them for Out of Bounds!
