Bridge theatre, London
Ben Whishaw and David Morrissey star in Nicholas Hytner’s promenade production, which shows putative dictators can be populists
Like Shakespeare’s Mark Antony, Nicholas Hytner is a “shrewd contriver”. He has created a promenade, modern-dress production of this suddenly fashionable Roman play that is both viscerally exciting and intellectually subtle. I was reminded of the Henry V that opened Hytner’s tenure at the National Theatre in that, without distorting the text, he makes the play politically urgent.
