Julius Caesar
By William Shakespeare
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
Fearing that Julius Caesar, returning to Rome after triumph in battle, will seize total power, Rome’s elite plot his murder. After Caesar dies at the hand of his friend Brutus, his successor Mark Antony drives the conspirators out of Rome and defeats them in battle, leaving him to rule. This production spotlights the insidious effects of patriarchy, while Shakespeare’s portrayal of ambition, power and betrayal make for an unsettling parallel between ancient Rome and contemporary culture.
This production contains simulated violence.
