AGRIPPINA. This drama of ancient Rome is the theatrical equivalent of a page turner, and just about as much fun....Affinito gives us a Nero far different from the gross fathead we've met in other accounts...Affinito keeps the action moving as Agrippina moves toward a bloody conclusion...Affinito is going for Masterpiece Theatre-like intrigue...It's a grand, passionate yarn that's easy to lose yourself inside of for a couple of hours.
