"A landmark achievement for the Australian stage… This is Shakespeare for purists, presented with the kind of theatrical integrity that honours both the playwright's original vision and the intelligence of contemporary audiences... Mark Lee brings his considerable stage presence, delivering Shakespeare's poetry with the kind of gravitas that only comes from years of seasoned performance… Cassady Maddox Booth delivers a compelling interpretation of Joan of Arc, bringing both fierce determination and tragic humanity to the role…The Sydney Shakespeare Company's dedication to 'simple and intimate performances of the canon, with a focus on actors, clarity and text' is evident in every scene… a rare theatrical experience."
