A stripped back, text driven, emotionally rich performance.

I thought much more highly of the plays coming out than I did going in.
Shame about the gender swapping. Otherwise terrific
Great acting but flawed production
The RSC at the top of its game.
Terrific re-jigging of Shakespeare play that works!
Fun, inventive if slightly too drawn out
Exceptional Production and Outstanding Acting.
Terrific adaptation, freedom seen through a child's eyes.
Youthful production, energetic, but not always clear.
Intriguing Restoration play with hard hitting modern parallels
Life under the microscope, forensic laughter.
Jolly, jaunty, spikey, but misses out on the real punch
Several good things but patchy
A very pleasant and most welcome surprise
Bigger and more varied than a box of Quality Street, and more tasty too.
