Not perfect but close
Overall this is an exceptional production that
works extremely well. The balance and pace
of the production are thoughtful and satisfying.
The temporal transposition, so suitable for
this play works beautifully.
Highly recommended.
Cassius, Caesar and Anthony are all superb
throughout. Brutus grows through the evening
but ultimately seemed miscast in this
particular role.
View from 3A was good, but you really had to
sit forward much of the time. Sorry to those in
3B behind. The promenaders below must
have had a great experience, but they surely
needed stamina for 2 hours.
Ate at Tom Simmons around the corner
beforehand - also excellent food and
reasonable prices (with good veggie choices).
All in all an unforgettable first visit to the
Bridge.
