"Richly textured, with big saucy acting... Antony Byrne is the alpha male we’ve been looking for... Josette Simon’s historic Queen of the Nile epitomizes Iqbal Khan’s deluxe production... a lavish production – aided by Laura Mvula’s seductive score." (The Daily Mail ★★★★)
"Josette Simon is a Cleopatra to die for…an extraordinarily physical performance... Special mention must be made of Ben Allen’s Caesar. Intelligent, sensitive and personable, his nuanced delivery is exceptional... This production would make a fine introduction to the play, and it ends spectacularly." (The Observer ★★★★)
"This Antony & Cleopatra is the best I’ve ever seen... Constant, gripping quality of a political thriller…a palpable hit." (Evening Standard ★★★★)
"Josette Simon seems born to play Cleopatra." (The Guardian)
"Magnificent set by Robert Innes Hopkins, lit beautifully by Tim Mitchell... A stylish, exotic score by RSC debutant composer Laura Mvula... Bravado-laced performance from Antony Byrne... The clever and dynamic set serves the story superbly, as well as being sumptuous in its own right." (WhatsOn Stage)
