ANYONE attending Steven Berkoff's Shakespearean Villains, at York Theatre Royal, was treated to an evening of pure theatrical brilliance. His energy and insight into the old and new worlds of evil and malpractice were as breathtaking and sharp as ever. The man is a high velocity human bullet - and lethally witty are his shots.

Shakespeare would have been proud of him. So should we.
