Love, Shakespeare, and Rope is a must watch beautiful, intimate, and very original interpretation of loving connections using the art of shibari combined with the poesis of Shakespeare's lesser known sonnets to love.

As an audience member, I really enjoyed the ways each pair expressed different ways of connecting romantically from the innocence of first love, to the passion fueled toxicity of jealousy, to the sweet yearning of love that's perhaps more difficult to keep. It's the overwhelming emotions, sense of connection, and vulnerability of being in a relationship wrapped up beautifully in each pair's athletic performance using rope and body language as their main vehicle of expression.

Excellent show!
