Heimbuch's script and portrayal of the bard are quite good. The play follows -for the most part- a pretty historically accurate account of Shakespeare's life at the Globe. The writing wittily is a mixture of older English, Shakespearean text, and Heimbuch's words. At first those words spoken on the thrust stage were a bit hard for me to comprehend. I am not sure if it was the size of the space, my unaccostumed ear, or poor diction, but regardless, I acclimated my ears eventually and enjoyed this zombie romp. At first I was disappointed in the ending, but realized that this is after all a zombie story and welcomed all the surprizes. Anderson's Kemp also was a treat. Rummenie's staging was never distracting and I felt worked quite well on the thrust stage. Four out of Five.
