...bubbling script... Despite a slightly wobbly accent, Michael Cole’s King James was both regally imperious... and sympathetic... Excellently staged, Max Rubin's production fully exploited its atmospheric setting... Most impressive perhaps was the music, which Matt Baker created to Bible verses... sung superbly by a spectral community choir... The urge to chronicle so much of James I’s life... seemed at times to come at the expense of tight dramatic structure.
