Julius Caesar
by William Shakespeare
9 PERFORMANCES ONLY
MARCH 26 - APRIL 11
the eight-woman chamber production played in-the-round
Germantown City Hall
featuring dance and live cello sonatas
adapted and directed by Dan McCleary
“How many Ages hence
Shall this our lofty Scene be acted over,
In States unborne, and Accents yet unknowne?”
These are the actors Shakespeare couldn’t cast, dancing a political and domestic circle that his audiences would never accept.
How might Shakespeare re-envision his all-male, fictitious history if his Elizabethan women could act, vote, wield political and corporate power, and then, despite their love and intuition, come face to face with war? Is it possible that humanity’s cycle of violence could be halted?
Now you can actively experience the famous story like you never have before. Sit in the Mayor’s and Aldermen’s chairs on the dais and decide between Brutus and Marc Antony, a Republic or Empire, life and death.
Accompanied by Bach’s and Kodaly’s live cello sonatas, a cast of seven classically-trained actresses reveal the heart and possibility in Shakespeare’s tragic masterpiece in the most politically-charged circle available – our own City Hall counsel chamber.
Featuring professional actor/dancer/musicians from around the country: Jennifer Drew, Tracy Liz Miller, Caley Milliken, Brittany Morgan, Vanessa Morosco, Elizabeth Raetz, Kerry Ryan, and Iren Zombor.
