"That the plays respond to a bold, frontal style of acting. And that the space itself creates a new actor-audience dynamic. But at the moment the Globe runs the risk of ironing out Shakespeare's ambiguities and turning the plays into simple contests between heroes and villains." Michael Billington, Guardian, 1.6.98. Opening Date: 29 May 1998; Theatre: Shakespeare's Globe.
