Review – Hamlet and Juliet

Sometimes you want to try something new just because you think it’ll be different, it’ll be edgy because your life just seems too boring and you want to shake things up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just blows up in your face. Sound and Fury are the complete opposite.

They are the Tim Tam in coffee, the butter chicken and garlic naan, the dry roasted almonds. Always exciting because you just know that it will be good.

Testament to this are heckler’s reviews of last year’s shows: Hamlet and Juliet and Hitchcocked.

This was not these guys first time at the Rodeo. Fringe veterans Sound & Fury know what they are doing and clearly love doing it. You also can’t help but to love them.

I was lucky enough to be attending with a person completely new to Fringe. Like Sound & Fury this was definitely my first time at the Rodeo. Spending some time watching him watching them reminded me of what these kind of shows are about – pure unadulterated joy. Clever, entertaining and appealing, Richard Martzier, Patrick Hercamp and Shane Adamczak are consummate performers. The show is engaging and engrossing, you are absorbed into the crazy, topsy turvy world of Shakespeare if he was on a weird LSD trip.

Buy a ticket you wont regret, go see Hamlet and Juliet.
