"Observers may detect an unusual degree of authenticity in the English Shakespeare Company's production of Julius Caesar, which reaches Richmond on the 27th of this month. For I hear that amongst an impressive cast is one Burt Caesar. He is, I gather, no relation. This is perhaps just as well: Burt, who hails from the West Indies, will play Brutus. He has previously appeared in The Professionals." ~ Evening Standard, 8 September 1993
