Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.

Commendations – Mark Bazeley, Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Measure for Measure
“The impact of Declan Donnellan’s powerful, intelligent production… was nothing short of cataclysmic.”
The Observer
“Cheek by Jowl has always been run with an exemplary humanity and here it spills onto the stage and passionately engages with the forces of punishment and sexual hypocrisy.”
Time Out
“Clearly some liberties survive even in the world of puritan hypocrisy that Donnellan, staying true to Shakespeare, has so breathtakingly evoked.”
The Guardian
