Notes
- Reviews
- `This is without any equivocation whatsoever the greatest production of Shakespeare I have ever seen in my life - and for my joys and my sins I have seen literally hundreds. Its greatness lies partly in its insight into man, and best of all its remarkable insight into Shakespeare. But it also lies in its originality. It is the most genuinely and deeply original production of Shakespeare in decades. [Clive Barnes, The New York Times, January 21st 1971].
