Julius Caesar
610 F Street NW Washington
Hailed by The Washingtonian as "one of the best productions of this or any season," Julius Caesar portrays the life-and-death struggle for power in Rome. Fearing that Caesar's growing strength and imperial ambitions threaten the Republic, a faction of politicians plots to assassinate him. But when Caesar is killed, chaos engulfs Rome. Alive with stunning rhetoric, Julius Caesar investigates the intoxicating effects of power and the dangers of idealism. In Caesar, Brutus and the young Marc Antony, Shakespeare created three fascinating, dynamic characters.
