Synopsis: Cardboard Citizens love to contextualise Shakespeare, they induct the audience for Timon into a management-training seminar. This leads to an amusing introductory assessment of the Bard's work in terms of how it can enhance your managerial skills: thus, Hamlet becomes about "prioritising your to-do list". If Adrian Jackson's production of Timon works, it is less because of the packaging than because of its grasp of the raw essentials. Michael Billington, Guardian | ||||

Notes: Original Playwright - Georg Buchner | ||||
Synopsis: it depicts a very modern kind of alienation: Woyzeck, prey to the terrifying voices in his head, is isolated in a world that, despite the interventions of intrigued medics, understands his torment little and by and large cares less. It's a fascinating critique of the way in which mental illness stigmatises, and of how a differing perception of facts and events can separate an individual from mainstream society. - Sam Marlowe, The Times | ||||
