JULIUS CAESAR by William Shakespeare
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.
FRIENDS/ROMAN/COUNTRYMEN by David Davalos
A struggling poet named Virgil bumps into Julius Caesar and accidentally creates the Roman Empire in this world-premier, comical-historical take on Shakespeare’s tragic history Julius Caesar. Shifting perspective toward peripheral characters, David Davalos’ supernatural fable of sooth and consequence leans into the laughter — after all, the fall and rise of Caesar weren’t exactly a tragedy for every Roman citizen.
