'The two leads have the makings of a delicious double act, Bremmer snuffling with mirth into his ginger furs as Hadfield makes boobies of the avaricious hypocrites with easy wit.' THE TIMES

'Richly engaging...especially Mark Hadfield, whose energetically lugubrious turn is the show's greatest pleasure.' TIME OUT

'Richard Bremmer's eponymous Volpone is central to the play but, though his lanky, agile foxiness in tasselled smoking-cap has a vitality that contrasts with the tremulous invalid he pretends to be it does not dominate the play. From his first oil-gestured entrance it is Mark Hadfield's oily-gesturing Mosca who is centre stage, in a totally winning performance, beautifully played and beautifully spoken. He is not alone in a cast that speaks with clarity and intelligence. Some say Jonson's text is more difficult to play than Shakespeare's. If that's true, with this company you wouldn't know it; they give it pace and understanding.’ BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

‘Joyful and highly amusing production…outstanding performances throughout.’  UK THEATRE.NET

‘The play’s success can be measured by the comic relationship between the double act at the centre of the action. In this production we find an almost perfect pairing, Richard Bremmer’s spidery Volpone disgusts and amuses in equal measure and is served brilliantly by Mark Hadfield’s energetic and crumpled fixer, Mosca.’ GREENWICH.CO.UK

‘Director Elizabeth Freestone has created a hugely imaginative world in which she can slow time down, speed it up and rewind it in order to manipulate the characters for the audience’s greater enjoyment, the action after the interval being a particular treat. The costumes are wonderfully absurd creations, touched with slightly cartoon-like features, for instance stiff curled tailcoats and absurd feathers.’ GREENWICH.CO.UK

‘Brilliantly produced…Costumes and set design are outstanding...Richard Bremmer and Mark Hadfield were wonderful as the scheming Volpone and Mosca.’ DOCKLANDS24

‘These DVDs are a godsend, and English Departments should go out and order them immediately.’ EDM MAGAZINE, PROFESSIONAL JOURNAL FOR THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH, NATE

'I think these DVDs are brilliant. People who are teaching this would be crazy not to buy it.' BARBARA  BLEIMAN, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, THE ENGLISH AND MEDIA CENTRE

‘I was very impressed. These will meet a pressing need for teachers of these plays at school, college and university levels. The performances are enjoyable and thought-provoking: accessible and reliable, whilst encouraging debate about the relationship between performance and interpretation. I shall certainly use the DVDs when I teach these plays.’  DR. RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN, LECTURER IN ENGLISH, UNIVERSITY OF NORTHAMPTON

‘The quality and energy of the production and direction were first class.’  DAVID SPRIGG, JOINT MANAGING DIRECTOR, STAGECOACH
