As a theatre nerd, myself, this was drama to the max! I found myself intrigued and invested right from the start. The characters were dynamic and the relationships complex. The mixture of Shakespeare and dialogue was brilliantly done. The imaginings of the productions were so compelling. If you are looking for a dark drama, this is definitely it. Loyalty, betrayal, madness, love, obsession… It’s all there, just like any Shakespeare play.
