Imperium and King Lear in NY
1 January 2018 – Divus Augustus “A headline of obvious: “Hail Cicero! He’s all talk and no toga”: http://dailym.ai/2CsnZmB | but @ForOJohnstone got a nice call-out with his portrayal of the young princeps! 😉“
11 January – Heather Self “@ForOJohnstone interval 2 in Imperium Part 1. As expected, OJ is fabulous. #RSCImperium“
13 January – Heather Self “@ForOJohnstone have to say that OJ was magnificent as Octavian in #RSCImperium part 2 last night. He has that rare ability to completely command the stage, particularly when silent/speaking quietly.“
20 January 2018 – Paul Murphy “#RSCImperium was outstanding theatre – immersive, imaginative and moving: like a particularly gripping box set! Great to chat to @thisispierro and his lovely grandparents last night, and the mesmeric @ForOJohnstone this evening: gracious young actors both, with a bright future.“
25 January 2018 – Phil Sellars “#RSCImperium great companion to Shakespeare’s Roman plays. Star perf from Richard McCabe (more please in meaty Shakespeare roles, eg. Shylock) and great sounds from the band, esp drums & trumpet. Joe Dixon plays “bonkers” to perfection, Oliver Johnstone a suitably creepy Octavian“
King Lear in Brooklyn 7-29 April 2018
11 April 2018 Michele Angelini “Loved seeing #KingLear last night @BAM_Brooklyn with #RoyalShakespeareCompany. All around amazing performances, esp Sir Antony Sher and I loved Oliver Johnstone’s Edgar. #Shakespeare #NYC #Brooklyn“
