| | Glasgow Citizens Theatre - Don Carlos |
 | | The tragedy of Prince Don Carlos, baulked in love by his father, and trying to lead a rebellion against him, is also about freedom of thought in corrupt and oppressive times. |
 | | Don Carlos, brilliantly played by Benedick Bates, is, in his incontinent expressions of passion, the total opposite of his father, a cold, vacillating, jealous tyrant. |
 | | Carlos, the heir to the throne, is a baffled liberal, overawed by his autocratic father, Philip II, and paralysed by guilty love for his French stepmother, Elizabeth of Valois. |
