Didn't much admire the play, for reasons as stated above: it has more problems than it has sub-plots, which is too many. But I needed to see it once, because I'm a completist and it was almost the last Shakespeare I hadn't seen - and the RSC is always a draw; and, mmm, Emma Fielding! Anton Lesser!

And then last year the RSC was working in combination with other companies to produce every play WS wrote, so we saw it again in a really inventive co-production with Kneehigh Theatre. Sometimes the production can outshine the play, y'know?
