Don Carlo

This was a new staging by Francisco, but devised using an existing set and existing costumes from an old John Copley production. It hence does not reflect a truly personal dramaturgy, though it was praised for providing unusually clear storytelling and for strong insight into the character’s relationships. It was the show that opened the doors of Australia for Francisco, leading directly to his famous Julius Caesar in Sydney.
