Rating: 3.75/5

This was an okay little read I guess, and it was helped by the fact that I read it in one of the beautiful Folio Society editions that I’ve been reading of late. Still, coming off the back of Titus Andronicus and The Merry Wives of Windsor, both of which I really enjoyed, it was a little bit of a disappointment. But what can I say? They can’t all be hits, right?

I enjoyed this one quite a lot! I think it’s because it’s one of Shakespeare’s comedies and so it was nice and light, an easy read. The language was simple enough to follow which meant that the plot was also easy to follow, and some of the little one-liners in this are still genuinely funny. I’d love to see a full performance of it.

It’s not my favourite of Shakespeare’s plays, but it’s certainly up there. Read it!
