Who wouldn't want to see what happens when all of an author's characters get together and compare their stories? While the idea is charming, Enter the Body puts a darker, feminist twist on it, putting Shakespeare's most ill-treated female characters together in a dark room below a stage, where they are dropped after dying during their respective plays. I don't usually go for poetry but I really enjoyed the sections of Juliet's verses we see here, it flowed easily and gave new life to what many people think is a vapid character.
