Shakespeare speaks directly to those suffering wars and oppression. When Julius Nyerere became the first President of independent Tanzania in 1964, he translated Julius Caesar into Swahili, then sent actors into villages to perform it and discuss the dangers of overweening power. Today, Arab and African exiles across Europe imagine a bloody vengeance against their leaders, those tribal Macbeths and oil-rich Caesars.
