An imaginative staging, and an interesting interpretation -- is the whole play really the tale "of sprites and goblins" told by the young prince Mamillius? -- by the all-male Propeller troupe. Some of the performances are uneven, and it's a difficult play in many ways, but by all means go see it.

I smiled at this exchange early in the play, when the two kings talk about their relationships with their sons. It reminded me of our boys:

Leon. My brother,
Are you so fond of your young prince as we
Do seem to be of ours?

Pol. If at home, sir,
He’s all my exercise, my mirth, my matter,
Now my sworn friend and then mine enemy;
My parasite, my soldier, statesman, all:
He makes a July’s day short as December,
And with his varying childness cures in me
Thoughts that would thick my blood.

Leon. So stands this squire
Offic’d with me.
