- Reviews
- "Michael Boyd has come up with the smash hit of the season. It’s something David Hare might have written - a fresh look at Shakespeare’s story about a government that runs a disastrous back-to-basics moral crusade." Robert Gore-Langton, The Express. Smallwood, Robert Shakespeare Survey 52 (1999), pp229-53 (esp. 241-44).
