The standout performance of the night was undoubtedly Esther Warren as Hotspur. Commanding the stage with a presence that was equal parts defiant and tender, Warren delivered a performance that grounded the whole production. Watching her character grapple with identity, expectation and self-realisation was as powerful as it was moving.
Esther Warren’ s Hotspur brings both simmering intensity and flashes of vulnerability, reminding us why this is theatre, not history. Warren captivates me with her ability to switch between the multiple layers, genders and time-periods with ease, hardly off stage, handling swords and Shakespeare with complete mastery.
