Some people are a bit disappointed with Julius Caesar because there isn’t very much for the female characters to do. Shakespeare has written a lot of brilliant female characters, but there are only two females in Julius Caesar and they’re not always presented in a very positive way.

There are a lot of plays which just seem to be about people treating each other badly. It’s become especially common in modern times and it can be seen not just in plays but in films, TV programmes, books, any media that contains stories also contains nastiness.

At just over thirty-three minutes
long, The Bear is much shorter than most of the International Actors
Ensemble’s projects, but it is no less brilliant. Anton Chekhov is known for
his miserable plays, which tend to feature a fair amount of crying and dying,
but this one is absolutely hilarious.

There’s just one problem with this
production of Richard III.
I don’t know how any other production
is ever going to live up to it.

The final part of the Henry VI
trilogy is a triumph not just for the winner of the final battle but for the
International Actors Ensemble, Circle in the Sand, the Alex Theatre and everyone
else involved in this great series of productions.
And it isn’t over yet. Richard III
is still to come and judging from the cast list, it’s going to be great.
