There's no denying the power of Vickers' performance! But the tragedy must raise questions about what is caused by fate, and what is triggered by character; my view is that Vickers emphasises the latter to the detriment of the former.
But it's just my view, and I think the role is complex enough to support different interpretations. Even a role like Dr Bartolo in The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro can be played in a variety of different ways which can affect how dark or light the comedy is.
