Reviews

[Beccy · Rating 3 out of 5]

True rating; 3.25 stars

This for me has much more going for it than Freeze-Framed, it's historical context is a lot more clear - we are in Elizabethan England, we attend the rehearsals for Shakespeare's latest play, we have allusions to Kit Marlowe, but no one says his name - RUDE.
