Reviews

"Everything about this production feels right Martin Hutson's brilliant Cassius... James Corrigan's Mark Antony is a calculating cynic The great virtue of the production is its nuanced portrayal of the divisions among those conspiring against a dictatorial Caesar" (The Guardian ★★★★)

"Terrific…Angus Jackson’s production is hot-blooded and exciting. Andrew Woodall is a truly imperious tyrant…James Corrigan’s Mark Antony has the crowd round his little finger…Martin Hutson’s lean, calculating Cassius is truly outstanding." (The Mail on Sunday ★★★★)

"Julius Caesar is helmed by Angus Jackson – and he's brought something with him that delivers a spark of new fire in the air. The raw power of its delivery and the spectacle of this conspiratorial tragedy make it so much more than an invocation of Trumpian machinations." (WhatsOn Stage ★★★★)
