Short Desc Fifteenth video interview clip with Theatre Designer Sally Jacobs
Description Question: And and again is there a, do you think it is possible to find a, I mean what constitutes an appropriate metaphor or an appropriate analogy? Answer: Well this is shifting sand. Yes. I mean, an appropriate metaphor for Richard III as a sort of a nazi. Well now we've got many more nazis since then. So a post September the 11th Richard III might be very different. I mean what's going on around us is so powerful it affects our sensibility and it affects our interpretation of the classics all the time. But it's shifting ground.
