I’ve just put a review up over at My London Your London of the press night for the first production of the new director at the Globe. In summary: If you like charisma, sex appeal and lots of swordplay the first half will satisfy you; if that’s a bit testosterone-drenched for you, the second half will be much better. Margot Leicester is superb as Volumnia – Shakespeare’s  pushy mother from hell.
