The Heir Apparent -- Shakespeare Theatre




The Heir Apparent

Both newspaper reviews and audience reviews are posted on the official site. My own review: I enjoyed the play. This play was first staged in 1708 in Paris, and the original was translated and updated for this production. The play is a farce; it was intended to be slapstick humor. The play was not to be taken seriously; it was intended to amuse, and in my opinion, it succeeded. This play made me smile and even laugh at times. I loved the lighthearted nature of the play, and I left the theater feeling happy.
