The rest of the performances are acceptable, but not particularly memorable.
While Torchia's plaintive Emila (pictured below) dithers as to which of the nobles she prefers, Palamon comes under amorous siege from the Jailer's Daughter, a sort of Ophelia redux whom Francesca Mills plays with a furious energy that leaves no corner of the Globe's thrust stage unused. The beginning is a little bit slow, but hang in there. Noble and dignified Moyo Akandé looks spectacular as the Amazonian huntress queen in a stunning red corseted costume from Jessica Worrell. She's also convinced that he has got 200 women pregnant, in which case I'm not sure I'd want to be conquest number 201.

This theater is very unique being modeled after theaters that Shakespeare must have used. In 2016 the RSC revived it at the Swan in Stratford-upon-Avon as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations of that intimate theatre space, since it was also staged in its opening season in 1986. Instead, the actors own the stage - and Rutter's superb, boisterous company includes a star-making turn from the irrepressible Francesca Mills as the exuberant jailer's daughter, a hilarious short cameo from Jos Vantyler as a leaf-encrusted schoolmaster, and Matt Henry, the Olivier winning star of Kinky Boots, in a change of pace and place as Pirithous.
