THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Shakespeare: Julius Caesar
George Irving (Julius Caesar/Ghost of Caesar/Strato); Tom McKay (Brutus); Anthony Howell (Cassius); Luke Thompson (Mark Antony); Catherine Bailey (Portia/Second Plebeian/Citizen); Christopher Logan (Casca/Varro/Citizen); Dickon Tyrrell (Lucilius/Decius Brutus/Third Plebeian/Citizen); Joe Jameson (Octavius Caesar/Trebonius/Cobbler/Citizen); Tom Kanji (Servant/Pindarus/Soothsayer/Messenger/Citizen); William Mannering (Cinna, a poet/Metellus Cimber/Titinius/Citizen); Keith Ramsay (Lucius/Young Cato); Patrick Driver (Flavius/Cinna/Lepidus/Dardanius/Claudius/Citizen)
Julius Caesar is Shakespeare’s tense drama of high politics, one which reveals the emotional currents that flow between men in power, with themes that still resonate even today. Staged in Elizabethan dress with Roman accessories and with music played on period instruments, Dominic Dromgoole’s Globe production is ‘fleet, urgent, exciting and dangerous’ (Financial Times), combining ‘freshness of acting’ (Daily Telegraph) with an expert use of the theatre crowd and space that stylishly underscores Shakespeare’s thrilling dissection of politics in action.
