Still excited about this having seen it last year, when it was announced the only thing that appealed to me was that Harriet Walter was in it, but everything else was pretty much a turn off. I only saw it as I was offered a £10 seat and then was more bothered about not fainting and rolling into the action but this was Shakespeare as I hadn't seen it before. I've seen modern dress, I've seen great Shakespeare productions but probably none of them surprised me in such a positive way. It didn't work for everyone and there were bits I liked more than others but overall the impact was hard hitting and made me see a play that previously I really wasn't fussed about in a new way.
