Description …Tiers of seats, mounting very high, surrounded a quasi-Elizabethan rostrum-set on three sides… The odd but satisfying convention known as 'modern dress' was worn - the soothsayer Artemidorus was a fairground spiv with existentialist overtones - and the two inverterate obstacles to this method, the wearing of swords and the dress of the women, were successfully overcome. Miss Marsh has not, one gathers, attempted this fully three-dimensional style before, and it may be unprecedented in New Zealand.
