Stills
" ...The open-plan furniture of grey sofas, rostra and low tables allowed the actors to move around while supplementary images were projected on a large screen (with surtitles) and the audience wandered through, taking coffee and drinks and sitting on the "set". We were all implicated. I spotted a Young Vic director flopping next to the ghost of Caesar at Philippi...". [Michael Coveney The Independent, 24 November 2009].
