Julius Caesar
Electrifying and riveting. The performances are a true revelation.
The New York Times
Why see Julius Caesar?
Don't miss the American premier of this disarming production by Phyllida Lloyd of Shakespeare's raw and eternal power study. Most of the cast members of the 2012 world premiere in London return for this production, which once again sees an all-female team take on this iconic play.
Lloyd's bold re-interpretation of Shakespeare's work sees it taking place inside a prison, where female inmates and guards vie against the backdrop of female incarceration and a live thrash metal soundtrack.
