- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty solid play. Takes a while to get going, but when it gets going it reads well. There's something really fun about reading a modern political drama written in the style of a Shakespearean play. It doesn't quite work as well as it wants to, but I think it's pretty good and would probably be even better when watching it.
