Reviews

'A beautifully acted triumph... Darrell D'Silva's Antony marvellously captures the character's old ruffian recklessness and his warm, flawed humanity'
Daily Telegraph

'Pacey, lucid and energetic'
Times

'Michael Boyd's revival of this difficult play has many fine qualities... speed, lightness, an inventive theatricality... the RSC Ensemble continues to grow in strength with fine performances from John Mackay as a tense, insecure Octavius and Brian Doherty as a brisk soldierly Enobarbus... Maecanas is invested by James Gale with a smooth authority.'
