Description:"We were expecting a lorry that was 26 feet long and we’d designed the whole of Shakespeare’s plays to go on the back of the lorry….and what turned up was about 12 feet long. We cut everything in half basically. We went round with Romeo and Juliet on the balcony with their noses heavily pressed to the ruins of the Parthenon which was in turn rather mixed up with Burnham Wood. I am sure that nobody had any idea that this was slightly concertinaed…
We had Sylvia as Cleopatra, not reclining so much as sitting bolt upright."
