Ordeal by Arm-wrestling: Julius Caesar “unwrapped” Saturday 30 June 2012, 10.30-11.30 am at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford
My partner and I had so enjoyed last Friday night’s performance of Greg Doran’s production of Julius Caesar that we were delighted to have an opportunity to return to the theatre the following morning for the “Unwrapped” event.
This was one of a series of events at which the public are invited to join members of the creative team and acting company for a demonstration of the ways a play in the current season has “made its journey from the page to the stage”.
In this case, it was enthralling to hear what had gone into the rehearsals to produce such fine performances - including varying interpretations of character and text. Many, many thanks to you all - in particular, the actors Ann Ogbomo and Marcus Griffiths for taking up my suggestion, getting physical and arm-wrestling their way, belly-down, through the great scene between Caesar and Calpurnia! It was a big ask and they came through brilliantly - indeed, in true Roman style, triumphantly!
I would like to urge as many people as possible to go to Stratford and see this production!
