Reviews
-
A master class in both storytelling and the applicability of Shakespeare's style (it is inspired by his Histories). Luis Mari Moncada's script, and Gary Owen's translation, combine to create a superb text with plenty of meat for the cast.

Fabulous - In this summer of Shakespearean internationalism - this latest RSC commission may prove the most inventively exciting of all.
