Critics Choice. Jonathan Munby’s production…. extremely well done. It captures the play’s cinematic rhythm as one scene dissolves into the next, and also its dreamlike quality…
GUARDIAN
★★★★
-
Critics Choice. Jonathan Munby’s propulsive production…richly entertaining … boasts a clarity and a sense of black comedy that makes it connect with its crowd with a thwack.
THE TIMES
★★★★
-
Critics Choice. A fine production, which brings Shakespeare’s gorgeously written melodrama down to earth in the best sort of way.
TIME OUT
★★★★
-
Munby’s production is a wonderfully clear and powerful interpretation of Shakespeare’s late tragedy.
WHAT’S ON STAGE
★★★★
-
Munby’s production… conveys the sheer spaciousness of the play and the breadth of its reflections on the fate of empires.
