Exploring Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"

The Cost of Violence in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"

Julius Caesar enters Rome on the Feast of Lupercal as a war hero. When the senators see the people's reaction, including Mark Antony attempting to crown Caesar as king, they discuss the best way to stop him, but the cure may be worse than the disease. The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company explores the senators' plan of removing Caesar and how they ignored or misread the will of the people of Rome, causing a long and bloody civil war once Caesar was gone. Get to New York's Gene Frankel Theatre for a cautionary tale and timely discussion of politics and nonviolent change.
