"Essential for anyone with an interest in Shakespeare. Essential, in fact, for anyone with an interest in the human race."
Alfred Hickling, Yorkshire Post
A stunning and stylish production of one of Shakespeare's most controversial "problem" plays. Transposed to c.1920, this production was a stark analysis of religious prejudice and hatred. The production's reviews speak for it:
"Jude Kelly's staging keeps taking you by surprise, pushing you hard against preconceptions, sending you back to re-examine the text."
Alastair Macaulay, Financial Times
"a fresh slant to Shakespeare's perennial problem play"
Gerry Dempsey, Daily Express
"a fine, noble, and, at times, subtle production with a faultless cast."
Francine Cohen, Yorkshire On Sunday
"A grand if stark spectacle, this production fills the large Quarry stage with dramatic images and rich speech. It is a theatrical event that local theatregoers should not forgo."
Jim Greenfield, Yorkshire Evening Post
