**** The Guardian
’Shot through with grace and magic ‘
’Douglas Rintoul’s production uses the same basic set (designed by Cordelia Chisholm) as Giulio Cesare, but its gilded corridors of power have now become a shuttered mausoleum in a modern-day war zone, where the ashes of countless fallen are strewn on the floor and relatives assemble to collect mementoes of the dead…The closing scenes, in which the machinery of war is finally dismantled and people begin to smile again, are profoundly touching.’
