Prefaces to Shakespeare

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Ronald Pickup gives the fourth of six talks introducing the first season of Shakespeare's plays on BBC2 Julius Caesar
' I've never believed that Shakespeare has to be dragged by the scruff of his neck into the 20th century, presenting, let us say. Julius Caesar as a Hitler" figure and everybody else around him in jackboots. Julius Caesar is certainly a play about power-politics, but bound up with that is a strong moral sense.'
