Julius Caesar. A divisive leader who holds awesome power.
Concerned that Caesar seems dangerous, revolutionaries take the violent decision to murder him. They have no plan for what comes next. As the world spins out of control, chaos, horror and superstition rush in the fill the void. Civil war erupts and a new leader must rise: but at what cost?
Shakespeare’s political thriller exposes the ambiguity of trying to shift power. As we rage against the crises surrounding us, how far will we each go for our political principles?
