exploration of a Shakespearean character often overlooked." Annie Power, London Pub Theatres

be reckoned with, and a welcome arrival on the British theatre scene.
It is rare to come across a performer with this much imagination and
ability to make the audience see the very familiar through entirely
new eyes."Julian Eaves, British Theatre.com
