Shakespeare Bulletin Review
In theatre, timing is everything and Stage on Screen's recent productions have it down to a T.

'The best spoken, most intelligently staged and thrillingly effective Malfi I've seen in years.'
THE STAGE
'Much of the pleasure of this revival lies in re-encountering Webster's language...full of savage poetry.'
