"This universal or, at least, timeless view perfectly justifies the anachronistic mix of costumes: full medieval armour and khaki battle dress; a World War I padre (John Darrell's Archbishop of York), dog-collared and riding-breeched: a Pistol in black leather, with Hal's initials picked out on his back. What could be a gimmick becomes the visual equivalent of the plays' sweeping vision of society." Martin Hoyle, Financial Times 4.2.89
Opening Date: 1 February 1989; Theatre: Old Vic
