Brian Cox played JS Bach and his wife, his wife. (That's Nicole Ansari-Cox.)
They (luckily perhaps!) had great chemistry on stage and a convincing love and affection. Frederick the Great (Stephen Hagan) is no less diabolical for being played with great comic flair. Still a powerful tale of tyranny in war, a theme that resonates in every conflict.
The reviews were mixed but I thought this rather fine.
