Bard in the Quad: Julius Caesar
Bard in the Quad returns for its 19th season with William Shakespeare's thrilling historical tragedy, Julius Caesar.
Et tu, Brute?
When Julius Caesar, the popular leader, seems to be usurping power in order to position himself as Emperor, two influential Romans, Caius Cassius and Marcus Brutus, conspire a bloody assassination plot to stop him. While their murderous plans succeed, their beloved Rome is plunged into a dark period of chaos and violence. Set in an imagined future-world inspired by popular science fiction and fantasy stories, this production explores Shakespeare’s universal themes of power, betrayal, and the role that fate plays in all of our lives.
