JULIUS CAESAR is William Shakespeare's account of the most famous assassination in the ancient world. This pared-down production uses six actors and transformative design to distill the timeless themes of envy and idealism, reason and ambition, with ominous political overtones that serve as a warning shot across the bow of our current political climate.
"There's an immediate reaction to some of the themes that emerge from this play, such as 'violence begets violence', the differences in public and private persona in the political spectrum, power in politics as well as the unintended consequences resulting from hubris. And of course, one cannot think of the Roman Empire without also thinking of its ultimate and iconic demise, which is starting to look a lot like our country right now."
