This could have been a 5☆ but the ending was just rushed. Like Bill come on. You drag the hell out of R+J but this you rush? So sad. Still love the first 80%

I know this play is great. It's written wonderfully and it's themes are incredibly implemented. I just really didn't enjoy it. It was so boring. I didn't care about what was happening. I didn't find the characters compelling. I wanted so badly to like this, because as I read it I could point out everything that made it great - but it just didn't click with me.

This is Shakespeare's best play. If you can see it in person, please do! However there are some amazing readings on Youtube as well. The story deals with so much guilt and pain.

Since reading through this earlier in the month, I've already re-read bits and sat through auditions and discussed it at length...so my opinion has changed and probably will change. BUT I'm going to try to recall my initial re-reading after many years: surprise at the appearance of so many well-known lines and confirmation why so many have Lady Macbeth on their bucket list. With most plays, it seems, re-readings result in deeper understandings and fonder feelings.
