Henry VIII in Production at Blackfriars

This review of last year's production of Henry VIII looks like it was something to see. Unfortunately, this project had just begun so it was not something on my radar at the time. I do like the review though and it has made me rethink some of my criticism. I especially like the last few paragraphs of the review. Very insightful analysis, that bit on "the point" of the play. I think that's what was bothering me...the apparent lack of "a point," as seen in the other works. The review not only dispels that notion (in some ways), but applies the play to modernity, which is about as much of "a point" as you can find anywhere.
