"LET'S CARVE HIM AS A DISH FIT FOR THE GODS" - Brutus, Act 2, Scene 1
It’s been more than 450 years since a monarch ruled in Rome. But now, in the senate and the streets, the forum and the marketplace, the word ‘king’ is being whispered again. Julius Caesar has triumphed in battle and the adoring crowd roars its approval. The crown is offered to him once, twice, three times. And each time, his refusal seems a little more reluctant.
Fearful of Caesar’s growing power, Brutus and Cassius hatch a chilling conspiracy. A pre-emptive strike. But their brutal act unleashes a cascade of violence they can’t control. Is this the end of the republic?
Don’t miss Peter Evans’ thrilling new production of Shakespeare’s political masterpiece.
