NOT YOUR USUAL CAESAR. Bridge Rep takes on Shakespeare’s great political drama with a fresh, stripped down, actor-driven production. Rife with West–Wing-meets-Homeland type dialogue and suspense, this script remains at once timely and timeless.
Julius Caesar is head of all of the Roman Empire, but several Senators fear he has grown too powerful, and so conspire to assassinate him. At once timely and timeless, this play explores everything from honor, patriotism and friendship, to the dilemma of the public versus private selves, to the destructive nature of jealousy, to the fickleness of the populace.
Producing Artistic Director Olivia D'Ambrosio's stripped-down staging places emphasis on making the language accessible, and on engaging the audience’s imagination.
Approximate Running Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes with no intermission.
