I hated this so much it convinced me that the National Theatre should stop doing Shakespeare completely. We've got the RSC and the Globe doing it full time plus commercial theatres doing it too so it's not like Shakespeare would disappear if they stopped, but at least we'd be spared awfulness like this. The problem is that I can't remember now why I hated it so much. What a waste of good leads.
