One of Shakespeare’s great tragedies is brought to the stage by one of America’s leading touring theater companies. A classic story of opportunity and strategic error, historical events from the reign of this iconic Roman emperor are interwoven with tragic elements and linguistic devices in this compelling work. Seen by many as overly ambitious and by others as a noble leader, Caesar ignores a soothsayer who warns him to “beware the Ides of March.” This chilling prophecy comes to fruition in perhaps the most famous death scene ever written—“Et tu, Bruté?” The Acting Company, hailed as “the major touring classical theatre company in the United States” by The New York Times, celebrates its 40th anniversary with this powerful production from one of the finest works in the Shakespearean literature.
