Gentleman, thank you. I’m an actor about to go into rehearsals for Antony and Cleopatra at Bell Shakespeare in Sydney playing Octavius Caesar. I’d been struggling to find the humanity of the man and getting bogged down in historical detail. This podcast has lightened my approach and given me some great details to latch onto. Humour, of course, I think being the secret. I’m a bit behind having only just reached Antony’s Parthian campaign but getting through them apace! Thanks again and hope to do the man some kinda justice in performance.

Hey Gareth. That’s so cool. I’m a huge fan of Bell Shakespeare. I’ve seen a few productions over the years. I’d love to catch your performance. Do you think you’ll bring it to Brissy?
Just opened in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne to follow. No Brisbane this time I’m afraid but do let me know if you happen to be in town.
