about learning parts. cleopatra itself is a lot of lines to learn. was there a particular way of committing it to memory? did you have a particular method? no, it's just that it is the beating of your heart. it's... you know if you've missed something out because you hear that you missed it out. so that's very helpful. that rhythm? yes. the peter hall... that's right. "my father had a daughter loved a man, "as it might be, were i a woman, "i should your lordship." if you once kind of hear the rhythm of it, and if you obey it, it makes sense. if you go against it... ..it doesn't necessarily make sense. mm. shakespeare hasn't ever really been a problem to me to learn. the last time you were onstage performing in a shakespeare play was the winter's tale in 2015, directed by kenneth branagh, which i guess was almost 60 years after your shakespearean debut when you played

and i knew that there was a laugh in a line that cleopatra said, and i tried, for 99 performances... ..to get the laugh. and on the 100th, i got the laugh. i'm going to come back to antony and cleopatra. you'd already played lady macbeth, hadn't you, i think 10, 12 years earlier in... africa. west africa. ..a tour of west african countries? yes. we did... where'd you go? ghana, sierra leone... ? ghana, sierra leone and nigeria. and we were the very, very first lot to go. and that was british council? british council. right. the british council said, would we go? because macbeth, twelfth night, and arms and the man were the set books for these young people, the children in nigeria, ghana, sierra leone. would we go and perform them? it was an experience i'll never, ever, everforget. ever. everything that rhymed made everybody laugh a lot.

should be adapted. it's what it does to the person watching, isn't it? it's a reference, perhaps. but, i mean, you know, he knew... he knew absolutely everything, as far as i'm concerned, shakespeare, about every condition. and, therefore, that's why the plays have gone on for so long, because so many things mean different things to different people. and as well as that, all the emotions mean different things to people. mm. and he was able to somehow say it in a way that we use today, colloquially. mm. we don't know that we do it so often, i think. the next role that i'd like to talk about is another powerful, tragic woman — cleopatra in antony and cleopatra. and you played opposite anthony hopkins... idid. ..in a peter hall—directed

upon you but when you are well pleased. that herod's head i'll have! but how, when antony is gone, through whom i might command it? there's gold for thee. tell me about working with anthony hopkins as antony. he was wonderful and very, very unexpected. you never knew which way he was going tojump. and that was important to that relationship between the two of them. mm. but then, at his death, we were up at the monument and he would lie and he would die. and he would say to me, "and now you do act v "and i'm going to have a nice cup of tea." what, he would whisper that? and that's true. yes. really? "now i'll go and have a nice cup of tea while you do "act v, right?" let me just take you back to cleopatra. antony and cleopatra, in 1987, directed by peter hall,

production at the national theatre in 1987. i've read that you questioned peter hall's judgment when he cast you as cleopatra. idid. what was your worry? isaid, "well, you'll get a lot of laughs. "she's meant to be a very, very tall girl," i said. she laughs queen of egypt. not quite right. what about her character? we talk about lady macbeth, very dark role there, she's a woman possessed. but cleopatra, you have that really amazing... she's a woman possessed. she's a woman who is passionate about her husband, and what he wants, she wants for him. that's what i think about lady macbeth. and similarly, cleopatra... ..is deeply in love as well, and driven by a great sense of sexual passion with antony. but she... i can remember peter saying to us, he said, "you get this great build—up about the two of them "at the very beginning of the play," which you do, i mean, they talk about... "and then in come two (bleep)," he said... ..said to us, "who behave very, very badly." and we used to roll all over the stage and be all over each

mmm. and he was able to somehow say it in a way that we use today, colloquially. mmm. we don't know that we do it so often, i think. it's just occurred to me, i've said the word "macbeth" several times in your house. that's ok with you, is it? oh, yes. the next role that i'd like to talk about is another powerful, tragic woman — cleopatra in antony and cleopatra. and you played opposite anthony hopkins... idid. ..in a peter hall—directed production at the national theatre in 1987. i've read that you questioned peter hall's judgement when he cast you as cleopatra. idid. what was your worry? isaid, "well, you'll get a lot of laughs.
