- Lloyd Bradford Syke, Crikey (for Julius Caesar)

Bell Shakespeare’s current, touring production of Julius Caesar is possibly the finest, most satisfying Bell production I’ve yet seen (and that’s saying something). It’s also, very possibly, the finest, most complete and completely successful theatrical production I’ve seen this year. In fact, without a shadow of a doubt, it’s one of the finest theatrical productions I’ve ever seen. Shakespeare doesn’t get any better... Anna Cordingley’s set is wonderful. Time and place are evoked, with crumbling grandeur, by a stand-alone column, around which scaffolds are deftly constructed and deconstructed by the actors, working as stagehands.
