To see the future one must only look to the past.Like many who came before him, and after him, Julius Caesar had the support of the people but the loathing of the players.
Peter Evans, Bell Shakespeare's Associate Artistic Director, takes this momentous piece of Roman history and transports it to the corridors of backroom politics. This time, when Caesar gets the axe, it's the media who roar like an angry mob. This sharp political drama puts friendship to the test and reveals a stark contrast between our intentions and our actions. With Alex Menglet as Caesar and Kate Mulvany as the conniving Cassius, we go behind the scenes as yet another leader is forced from office.
