“… it’s Simone Romaniuk’s set, and David Walters’ lighting, that steal the show. Gorgeous to look at in its own right, it’s essentially a towering forest, not just indicative of ­Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane, but of nature’s ever-present capacity to overwhelm the schemes of men. Yet it never makes the actors seem small. The net result? A play of chilling relevance in a modern world where Machiavellian ambition, political manoeuvrings by the ­unworthy and sheer, out-of-­control venality can still be found in public life.”
