Experience: 7/10
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Sally Cookson
Venue: Rose Theatre, Kingston
Date: Thursday 19th March 2015
One of the lovely things about the number of Shakespeare productions being put on these days is that we get a chance to compare and contrast performances much more quickly than before. This is a fairly typical case: an early performance of one production followed a few weeks later by a completely different version with a reprise of the first one close on its heels. There were some interesting similarities amongst the many differences, and both had a lot to offer with their individual take on the play.
