ive just got back from seeing it and sadly charles spencer was right. Ewan McGregor was a very disappointing Iago, it was so bland and monotone, there wasnt the depth there. You got no sense of his shrewdness and him calculating at all...like the review said there was no light or dark no tonal change. Kelly Reilly.....eeek it was cringeworthy....i think she was having some problem with projection so her voice seemed to go up and down and yet there was no emotion, you got no sense of vulnerability and personality at all. I know these actors have played some great parts really well elsewhere perhaps and so are 'big names' but how can people think they are good? Ejiofor was amazing...absolutely incredible and the actors who played cassio and emilia were brilliant. It was a really great production though even if the two of the three were dodgy....the rest of the cast saved them.

Marcel's complaint about the £2000 ticket price seems to spring from the belief that that was the original selling price- of course NO production is worth that much! However, the £15-£20 face value of the ticket to see a cast of this calibre in such an intimate environment is surely one of the bargains of the year. Seeing it on Thursday, hoping it's at the very least better than Charles Spencer thought it was...

Pete, Coventry,

Ewan McGregor can no more be expected to have any proficiency in speaking Shakespearean verse than he presumably would have if he were to attempt to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto - for the simple reason that he has neither the experience or skill to bring either extremely difficult task to satisfactory fruition, What is perhaps most surprising is that Michael Grandage, a director of talent and experience, should have cast Mr McGregor. Was he thinking more of the box office takings at his theatre than his duty to the author?
