- "Just back from tonight's show. Absolutely stunning performance from David Hayman (who was equally awesome as Lady Macbeth in '79...god, I'm old) and equally so from Kieran Hill as Edmund. My 15yr old son - a theatre virgin and tough crowd at the best of times - loved it too. Bravo Citz!" Comment from Facebook 27 Apr 2012
