An ambitious mother. A rebellious son.
An orphaned heir to the throne of Rome.
Part political thriller, part family drama, Britannicus depicts twenty-four hours in the life of Emperor Nero
that were to change the course of Roman history.

Britannicus Reviews:

'It makes for a fantastically volatile production, which leaves one glued to the actors' eyes, desperate for clues as to who will turn, and in what direction, next'.
****By Miriam Gillinson, Time Out full review

'The well-spoken production moves swiftly onward revealing its characters' Byzantine scheming, scenes sometimes separated by Sarah Lewellyn's cacophonous music and sound that stridently sustain its momentum'
**** By Howard Loxton, The British Theatre Guide full review

'Sian Thomas' Agrippina is fabulously venomous and deceitful, her commanding posture saying it all.
Matthew Needham's Nero is similarly gripping – vicious and childlike all in one, his psyche impossible to penetrate.'
**** Review by Miriam Zendle, Whats On Stage full review

'Once shunned by the British theatre, Racine is edging back into fashion. It is well worth the detour to London's East End to catch Irina Brown's modern-dress revival of this austere 1669 masterpiece. . .'
