gillothen's review against another edition
3.0
Read as part of the Extra Mile Shakespeare Institute online readathon in the lockdown summer of 2020.
The version we read was the rewritten play with additions for and presumably by the King's Men, performed at Court in 1610, with the additions highlighted in red, which was interesting - an adaptation of an old play for a new cast and somewhat different theatrical tastes.
It's a bit silly, but quite enjoyable and could possibly work today, though some changes would need to be made.
