Description: Two views capture in cameo the most obvious conflict over Shake-speare's presence in post-colonial Africa. The late Okot p'Bitek, when newly appointed as Director of Uganda's National Theatre, set tradi-tional drummers to play outside the building; he was, in David Rubadiri's words," challenging... the British Council, which thought it had exclusive rights to put Shakespeare there all the time instead of getting the ordi-nary people... to come and see local plays".
