Paterson Joseph When we first discussed it, at a symposium last year, we kept the conversation very open. The question was: does this play fit? Are we trying to stick a square peg into a round hole? But the more we thought about it, the more it seemed ideal. I thought I needed to hear it an East African accent, though, so I persuaded Greg to let me have a go at it. And the East African accent is a really sweet sound and it just, for me, lifted the play out of any clichés about Julius Caesar, and any clichés about Shakespeare.
