Chris Marcellus will put you to sleep, his voicing is so dull and without emotion, when Robert has some of the most expressive lines in the entire play. Elizabeth Klett is lovely as always. Ben Lindsey-Clark is Lord Boring. Alan Weyman was alright.

The other version is far superior, although it is slightly abridged.

Atrocious voicing of Robert
