Notes

Reviews

Jane Adams from Radio Times: "... one of the sexiest productions of Shakespeare I’ve ever heard, from the opening grunts to Anton Lesser’s portrayal of Angelo as a rigidly repressed man ... Nadine Marshall’s lush voice is laden with sexual promise ... . Director Claire Grove should be congratulated on this original take." (31 January - 6 February 2004, p. 118)
