or What You Will
by William Shakespeare
with Dorothy Tutin, Geraldine McEwan, Stephen Murray, Maurice Denham, William Squire, John Moffatt and Haydn Jones

"What you can hear is the text vividly spoken by people for whom it is plainly alive... All the principals are good... The play as a whole comes over as at once finite and at the same time of such diversity that the mind cannot ever entirely grasp it." (THE TIMES)

"Dorothy Tutin's Viola was superb... impassioned, tender, full of wonder and poetry ... Without visual distractions the utter beauty of the lines, the complex, punning wit came over as if new minted." (SUNDAY TIMES)
