...Lepidus, and his tippling aboard Pompey's ship is amusing. Lee Richardson's Enobarbus is strangely disengaged from its context, and his voice is not musical enough for what are some of the most gorgeous passages ever penned. Michael Levin's Pompey, Steve Karp's Menas. Joseph Maher's Agrippa, and Joseph Lambie's Eros are among those who need more vocal guidance. Peter Thompson scores points as the once-bitten-talee shy Messenger, and Rosalind Harris is properly sweet as Octavia...

I cannot believe that any of these matters has escaped his notice, for it has been no hole-and-corner business . . ." "Much more of this, Paul," returned Agrippa, "and you will be making me a Christian!" "Ah," replied Paul, "whether it means 'much more' or 'only a little,' I would to God that you and all who can hear me this day might stand where I stand-but without these chains...
