Julius Caesar

Directed by Gillian Eaton

"Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more." Act III Scene II

Although one of Shakespeare's most popular and quoted plays, JULIUS CAESAR is also a play of paradoxes; a play of soaring ambition; a play of power abused; a play of dreams, superstitions, portents, passions and predictions; a play of subtlety and sophistication. All intertwine after the brutal murder of Caesar, to cause moral turmoil, searing guilt, the death of "the noblest Roman of them all," and haunting anarchy.
