A different and bold attempt to make a rarely played text engaging and relevant. This tale of the Plantagenet family at war with itself burst upon the stage with the most boisterous and energetic dance accompanied by loud grinding power chords from the musicians. The audience were visibly surprised and delighted even more so by the ensuing bun fight and fight scenes that looked potentially lethal.
So glad I got my tickets before the end of King John’s run. Hugely entertaining. Well done to Eleanor Rhode and her multi talented cast.
