I cannot express my love for this play in words - holy crow, I adored so much about it. It's rare to find a play that just... well, it was so refreshing to see a play not based on seriousness at all! At the same time, this version is obviously a 'modernized' version of this play, with many outdated allusions being appropriately omitted or altered to help the new generation of audiences understand.
I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much in its original form, because one of my particular obsessions in this play was the role and personality of the omnipotent 'narrator' of the entire play, who himself, was quite the modern character. His role of stopping and starting the show - his role as a whole is far from traditional Commedia, but I loved him anyway.
