"A raised and tilted platform, it is as though the director were holding up the characters on the equivalent of the palm of his hand for his own and our inspection whilst other characters waiting to be involved in the action take their turns at the sides of this tiled acting area...the characters emerge from behind two vast doors where a state function seems to have been in progress." Peter Roberts, Plays and Players 7.81 Opening Date: 30 June 1981, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
