J.T.C. NOTES
from Jan 1943
by StPetersYork
" Caesar and Cleopatra " is not an easy play to produce, and Mr. Burgess, Mr. Fawcett, and indeed everybody, must have had their full share of headaches. The settings were fully up to the high standard we expect from Mr. Fawcett and his helpers, and what is more, they were a masterpiece of wartime ingenuity and contriving. (How much space was there for Cmsar and his friends to dive from the lighthouse ?) Mrs. Baird's incidental music was well adapted to the play, and well rendered, as usual. We particularly enjoyed the " Danse Arabe." As for the producing, its excellence is implicit in all we have said. We suggested last year that we should like to see a Shakespeare comedy— we enjoyed " Caesar and Cleopatra " just as much.
