Find out what the critics had to say about Allam’s performance as Ulysses in Troilus and Cressida at the National Theatre…
Other delights in this exemplary production include Oliver Cotton’s rugged Agamemnon, Roger Allam’s pedantic/bombastic Ulysses, and Denis Quilley’s hoary Nestor.
Allam’s Ulysses is the engine that powers Nunn’s production, matching a consummate command of verse with a thoroughly modern tone.

Roger Allam s Ulysses simply can’t be ignored. Allam portrays a flesh and blood man, a mover and shaker, part Machiavelli and part actor – this is consummate Shakespearean acting.
