'A witty and fiercely anti-colonialist revision of Shakespeare's island fling.. the play, in Philip Crispin's admirable translation, lends Shakespeare's myth all kinds of extra resonances' Michael Billington, Guardian 'Not simply a new reading of Shakespeare but an original play of astonishing power... Philip Crispin's admirable translation of the play provides the whole production with a secure textual basis... a remarkable theatrical event' Malcolm Bowie, TLS
Aime Cesaire has combined a political career as Martinican statesman with poetic calling in which he has been hailed as the leading Francophone poet of the twentieth century. Anti-colonialist visionary and prophet of negritude, his influence has been considerable in shaping ongoing post-colonial debate.
