“A stellar cast in this minimalist new production – complete with shouty, Brexit-era headlines – make Mark-Anthony Turnage’s 1980s classic a tale for our times… What is excellent about this new production is that it sidesteps the obvious, keeping staging minimal and forefronting the visceral and tender power of the text and music” The Guardian

“Directing duties fall to young English firebrand Joe Hill-Gibbins. It was he who staged A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Young Vic in a mudbath and filled a stage with sex dolls for Measure For Measure. He’s clearly a man for the high concepts and big gestures. For Greek, his concept is a vast white wall, which not only forces all the action into our faces at the very front of the stage, but also magically revolves, sticking out so far over the orchestra pit that it misses the head of conductor Stuart Stratford by inches” The Telegraph
