Talking about the plays with BBC's Will Gompertz, Sir Nicholas described how "Young Marx" portraying the times just after he arrived in London.

 Sir Nicholas said, "He was living in two rooms in Soho - he was broke, restless, horny, brilliant, and had total emotional illiteracy, he was a complete mess". He further added "Surrounded by creditors, spies, people after his wife, he's got writer's block... it's certainly not the Marx you see on the tombstone at Highgate Cemetery". "Julius Caesar" will follow "Young Marx" and open in December. Fans are excited to see Michelle Fairley live in Bridge Theatre after her powerful performance in "Game of Thrones". And we are sure she will bring smiles on plenty of faces. After all, she is our beloved "Lady of Winterfell".
