Julius Caesar

By William Shakespeare

A Royal Shakespeare Company Production

part of the World Shakespeare Festival 2012

'How many times

Shall this our lofty scene be acted o'er

In states unborn and accents yet unknown'

The dictator must be assassinated. But who will replace him?

Shakespeare's great political thriller finds dark contemporary echoes in modern Africa, directed by RSC Chief Associate Director Gregory Doran.  Gregory's most recent production include Shakespeare's 'lost play' Cardenio re-imagined, as part of the RSC's 50th birthday celebrations, as well as his 2008 production of Hamlet.

The company includes Paterson Joseph as Brutus, Cyril Nri as Cassius, Ray Fearon as Mark Antony and Jeffery Kissoon as Caesar.
