JULIUS CAESAR
DECEPTION & DESIRE WREAK PLAYFUL HAVOCDon't miss Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s inventive take on the Bard this spring, where deception and desire wreak playful havoc at Malcolm X Community Centre.
With two Shakespearean classics on offer, Twelfth Night and Julius Caesar explore the masks we wear in the name of ambition, politics, and love - where truth often proves the greatest casualty. While Twelfth Night traces a thread of longing and disguise for comedic effect in 1600s Europe, Julius Caesar unravels brutal betrayals behind the curtain of power in ancient Rome.
In a realm where political power lies in errant hands, what cost comes with the struggle for change? Bristol Old Vic Theatre School tackles these timeless questions in Shakespeare's chilling tragedy, Julius Caesar. Through intimate staging that draws the audience into the heart of the action, this production examines whether violence can ever serve noble ends. As competing factions wrestle fiercely for the soul of Rome, director Tanuja Amarasuriya explores the brutal chaos that results when hasty leaders lose their sight on the greater good.
