I think she's as good on the page as performed. Performances are always interesting because there's a fair amount of ambiguity, meaning there's a lot of space for interpretation. I've seen really barren, agonising versions of 4.48 and I've seen it played for laughs, and I saw a (phenomenal) version which was very dance-y. I think I saw an RSC version of ... Crave? I haven't the text to hand to remind myself. That was really good, properly played like it was Aeschylus or something. I should write something at length about her at some point. Though I always have the problem that I don't really follow modern plays (and by 'modern' I mean 'post-Shakespeare').
