Michael Billington in The Guardian.
“Alex Waldmann portrays Brutus as a troubled neurotic who masks his uncertainty by making a series of wrong-headed decisions: my abiding image is of him sitting alone, after the conspirators have departed, trembling with fear at the task ahead.”
The Leaming Courier
“Performances are strong throughout, but particular plaudits are due to Alex Waldmann as an endearing Brutus and to Martin Hutson as an upstanding yet deeply flawed Cassius.”

“As ringleader of the conspirators in Caesar, Alex Waldmann’s Brutus nails the honourable bit”
Financial Times
“Alex Waldmann thoroughly deserves his most prominent RSC role to date as Brutus […]”
British Theatre Guide
“Martin Hutson’s Cassius does indeed carry that lean and hungry look, while the reliable Alex Waldmann—now something of a versatile RSC stalwart—mines the complexities and pain of the play’s most ambiguous character, Brutus, a man about to be torn apart by two horses.”
Express
“Alex Waldmann’s Brutus, somewhat tentative in his early scenes and his relationship with Portia (Hannah Morrish), comes into his own in his quarrel with Cassius.”
Peter Viney in his blog says:
“The intensity of the first half was spellbinding. In particular, Brutus (Alex Waldmann) and Cassius (Martin Hutson) had a powerful chemistry going between them. Alex Waldmann has a strange power of “sincerity” in every role.This was a deeply troubled Brutus working against a fiercely intense and neurotic Cassius.”
