Twelfth night review

Let me start things of by saying that i found the play very boring. Now here’s the reason why.

The play starts of with a cool VR scene showing of the see through canvas by displaying images on it. This was a smart move by them, it got me intrigued and thinking that the rest of the play might be as cool...it was not. The rest of the play was very very confusing and filled with long boring conversation. And that's with disregard of the fact that they were talking in so called “Shakespeare talk”  The fact that the whole play was extremely confusing truly ruined the play for me. And yeah yeah people will say “ oooh but its shakespeare!” get outta here. If a play is so confusing that you have to read a whole book beforehand to understand it then i'm sorry to tell you, it's not a very good play. Now i know that i’m coming of as super aggressive + i sound like a real Shakespeare hater but hear me out. Shakespeare is one of the greatest play writers of all time, there is no argument there in my opinion. His plays have been shown all over the world and are know by almost everyone. But that does not make his plays the most watchable plays. The main function of a play is to entertain you or to make you think. This play does both of that, only that it makes you think so much that (at least I) did not understand what was going on. Listening to 10 minute conversations in “shakespeare talk” really made my head hurt. I truly had no idea what was going on. And yeah i guess you could connect that to the fact that i’m from a county where english is not the first language or that i'm a teenager. But i have been involved with theatre sense the age of 8. So to say that i don’t fully understand theatre would not be reasonable either. At the end of the day i guess the thing that dragged the play down for me was all the confusion and the shake talk.
