“Beware the Ides of March” – Act I, Scene 2
Hail Caesar, home from the wars…what darker fate awaits him? Suspicion, conspiracy and power lust boil up in a rush to murder in Shakespeare’s gripping political drama. As friendships are sundered and loyalties tested, guilt pursues the killers to their dark ends. “O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason…”

“The American Shakespeare Center’s new production of Julius Caesar is a fresh take, and a welcome one, on a classic political drama…This Julius Caesar is a timely reminder of how recklessness and greed can destroy things. For Shakespeare, the path to the Roman Empire may have seemed inevitable; he could mourn the loss of Brutus, but shrug at the implications of what came next. We who value our Republic can come away from this play with a great deal more.”
