The speeches were not famous when Shakespeare wrote them, of course, so he did not intend for us to have that moment of anticipation or even melodrama -- and therefore did not intend for directors to go in the opposite direction out of creativity. I think actors and director should read Caesar's diaries from the Gallic wars to see the man in his own voice before presenting this play. <BR/><BR/>No expert here, just a fan. BTW, you should accept the tickets as a reviewer would (?) but not the dinner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-48180066882374647282008-02-14T10:52:00.000-05:002008-02-14T10:52:00.000-05:00I am incredibly jealous.
