Synopsis In the wake of a change of regime in Troy, the Gods are busy re-establishing order among their human subjects. Concerned for the well-being of Aeneas and his men, who are shipwrecked and besieged at sea by storms after fleeing Troy, Aeneas' mother Venus persuades Jupiter to give the sufferers some respite. With his fellow survivors, Aeneas arrives on the strange African coast of Carthage. Haunted by the treachery and misery of the Trojans' defeat, he is greeted by the beautiful Queen Dido. At the contrivance of Venus and her son Cupid, Dido and Aeneas begin a passionate romance. The State Apartments, Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, London W8 4PX. Box Office: 08700 600 100
It sounded like a terrific idea - a promenade performance following the play through the state apartments of Kensington Palace - and it certainly has its moments. It's also an opportunity to see a rarely perfomed play by a playwright who, if he had lived beyond 23, may have given Shakespeare a run for his money. In the end, though, the distractions of the setting and the audience and the age it seems to take to move c.100 people from / to c. 10 locations gets in the way of the drama. A worthy try, though. - Gareth James
