Review: AFTER THE REHEARSAL/PERSONA at The Barbican Centre

After the Rehearsal/Persona In AFTER THE REHEARSAL director Ivo van Hove stages a naturalistic piece of theatre adapted from the film of the same name, focussing on the psychological complexity of Bergman’s story about the aging theatre director Hendrik Vogler (Gijs Scholten van Aschat).
