One of the greatest theatrical studies of tyranny, revolution, and civil war, Julius Caesar is also a highly personal play — a breathless, gripping portrayal of friendships and alliances torn apart by political ambition and the intoxicating effects of power. Director Arthur Nauzyciel’s “visually stunning, musically moody, and unceasingly stylish” (Boston Globe) production highlights the continuing relevance of Shakespeare’s great political tragedy. The production features costumes and design evoking the era of JFK, a live jazz trio, and provocative staging the refocuses the action so that the tyranny unfolds as the dream of a minor character, Brutus’s slave Lucius.
