'This future Britain is brought to life on Anna Fleischle’s set with Banksy-like graffiti (‘Remember how it was’, ‘This used to be trees’, ‘Free the people’) and a rare tree stump encased in a glass box. A Britain overcome by hate is bleak and dull and stifling. Fashion has also taken a tragic turn towards a mix of peasant chic and early 90s pop bands, all denim and fabric patchwork (think Britney-Timberlake in their matching denim outfits and you’re on track). Brexit truly is a terrifying prospect.

In contrast, the Italian court that Cymbeline’s exiled son-in-law, the thoroughly irritating Posthumous (Hiran Abeysekera), heads is a stylish vision of decadence with nattily dressed courtiers buzzing around the swarthy and compelling Iachimo (Oliver Johnstone). It’s all classical sculptures gone party crazy with neon halos. I know where I’d rather be – and that’s just what the production wants you to feel.' EXEUNT MAGAZINE
