Zvi does have valid points, but I still liked the performance. I do think having a top-notch cast really makes it work, so it's not a play that would be a good fit for a new company.

And I'm not sure if the ending at STC is in the stage directions, or a blocking choice of STC -- in the version I saw, once William is crowned, Charles stumbled backwards and slumped, in a way that made me think he was supposed to be having a heart-attack as the final close to the play.
