Gregory Doran's innovative production was widely hailed after its run at Stratford and moving it to London hasn’t dulled the impact.

Designer Michael Vale has put Caesar's statue at the heart of the set, a reminder that he’s the overwhelming personality of the age.

Greg Doran's choice to set the play in an East African republic run by an increasingly dictatorial military leader makes perfect sense but he seems to lose faith in it halfway through as Caesar's assassins are clad in togas. It's also a shame that an interval has been restored as the play is interrupted just as Mark Anthony is warming up for his rabble rousing speech. The performances are excellent, particularly Paterson Joseph as a dignified but increasingly guilt-ridden Brutus and Ray Fearon as a thrilling Mark Anthony, but they cannot fully rescue the play from remaining one of Shakespeare's less exciting history "thrillers"....
