Review for Julius Caesar:
Julius Caesar is the story of a brilliant general, a cunning politician, and the most beloved leader Rome has ever known; but when his ambition threatens to topple the Republic, a small conspiracy of Roman patriots takes matters into their own hands. When they assassinate the beloved Caesar on the Senate floor, their actions plunge the Republic into a civil war that will test friendships, try loyalties, and determine the fate of an empire.
The production will be staged in traditional Elizabethan English. The audience will find that even if the language is unique, trust us, you’ll be immersed in the story. Julius Caesar contains one of the most famous speeches of any Shakespeare play, and it is filled with political intrigue, manipulation, and relevancy.
