  1. Absolutely thrilled the show is back.
    This is obviously the build up to ‘to be or not to be’.

    As usual the breakdown is incredible. This episode for me was when you picked a word like ‘affront’ or the emphasis a character puts on lines that is the most enriching part of this.

    I have read the play/seen the play many times but never dissected in this way that you can see how those things add.

    Can’t wait for next episode! It’ll be a doozy!
