| Joseph Marcell in King Lear |
Having seen this production last year, I was intrigued to what changes they would make to a far from perfect rendition of Shakespeare's great tragedy. However, whilst I was engaged for the best part of it, there was no great change. There was an overhaul in the actors with only Lear, the Fool/ Cordelia and Regan staying in their roles. Apart from Beth Cullinane and Marcell, I found the actors slightly overacted their roles. It just seemed like a student production. They did seem to enjoy the experience of performing at the globe but that response was not equaled by the audience.
