Every great power since the fall of Rome has looked to the edges of its empire with fear and fascination at the threat from their own particular “Goths” – those outside the kingdom and those inside it. John Webster in Shakespeare’s era and Quentin Tarrentino, Oliver Stone and Michael Murphy in ours have tried; but only Shakespeare could find extraordinary poetry and deep human compassion - even humor - in this bold excursion into corrupt politics and the depths of human depravity.
