...very bad. Philip Heckscher is excellent in his two small parts, as are Arthur Friedman and Peter Weil as Lancaster and Warwick. They shout too much sometimes, but they pace their dialogues briskly and well. Mark Bramhall, Michael Sargent, and David Evett also play with distinction. Other minor characters tend to forget their blocking or to overact...

The age's other great eccentric, Samuel Johnson, dismissed him as a provincial from an "intellectually barren" town. His current biographers tend to side with Coleridge, and there is little difference between them, but their books are less interesting as studies of genius than as revelations of the wild theorizing that passed for reason as England's age of scientific reason began...
