A great early play of Shakespeare. It's funny and crass. But, it lacks the nuance and maturity of his later works. Especially in the plotting, this piece is a bit clunky and odd. However, it's our earliest Shakespeare play, so it's great to start with this to fully appreciate the later works.
I didn't really understand this play. This is probably because Shakespeare is hard to understand. I think I have read maybe two of his plays and none of his sonnets. I might return to this at a later date.
