First sentence: In August 1994 the Guardian's drama critic concluded his review of Peter Zadek's production of Antony and Cleopatra at the Edinburgh Festival by claiming that its value to him lay in its not being in English: 'Shakespeare in a foreign tongue', he wrote, 'becomes an analogue to the original that gives the director new freedom', and 'it will be hard', after this, 'to go back to traditional productions'.
