What is it about this play and hot young actors? Earlier this year I saw Jonathan Bailey do it and at the same time someone else was doing it on Broadway. I guess it makes a change from Hamlet. I remember the staging being quite minimal - a throne at one point - but mostly I don't like the theatre at the Barbican and I hope when they refurbish the place they make it better.
