Anyone else watched this? It's very good in every* respect: highly recommended.

(* = some of the camera "close-ups" excepted: some of the acting which would have been impressive seen from the distance of a seat in the theatre, looks a little "Ham-Dram" close to.)

I very much enjoyed it. No director-added ingredients, simple staging and unobtrusive costume but enough to evoke a distant time. I thought the performance was very good indeed. Watch out for Katherine Watson’s Cassandra (and one of the ladies of the court). A Lovely voice.

Here is a review that included the casts.
