ohhhh replacing Dolabella with Octavia is so SMART, well done National Theatre!

(I do think there are good and interesting ways to use a TV in a Shakespeare play! I am never going to forget the Merchant of Venice I saw in which the protags were all tech bros and a bunch of scenes that never make sense in staging were absolutely transformed by making them cell phone conversations. But it's true you do somewhat want them to be doing something there.)
