Description The six strong cast take to their small stage with command to tell the tale of the most famous of Rome’s Caesars. Amidst political warfare, Brutus and Cassius are the main schemers behind the overthrow and murder of Julius Caesar and in so doing incite the wrath of Caesar’s right hand, Marc Antony. One of Shakespeare’s ripest plays for long and impressive speeches, Essential Theatre delivers the gravity and depth behind the words superbly, and electrify their modest space. The cast is all female and changes the pronouns to recognise that, which makes for an exciting adaptation, and at only an hour’s running time it is fast paced too.
