About the Author:

Mike Poulton has a string of successful translations and adaptations to his name, most notably Turgenev's "Fortune's Fool" (which won a Tony Award) and Schiller's "Don Carlos", which played for several months in the West End earlier in the year.

Review:

"'Magnificent... leaves no doubt you are watching a classic... In Mike Poulton's fleet and vivid new translation... the story of the tyrannical King Philip II of Spain and his abused, love-tormented son, Don Carlos, has all the deftly plotted twists and turns of a thriller. You lean forward in your seat, desperate to discover what happens next... an absolutely spellbinding production of a masterpiece' Daily Telegraph; 'Grandage directs an exciting version that would do honour to ay of our big national stages... triumph' Guardian; 'Marvellous' Independent"
