The Tragedy of Julius Caesar

Strawdog Theatre, Chicago

About the Show

Strawdog Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, directed by Nic Dimond. It is the aftermath of a great civil war that had
threatened to tear the Empire apart and Julius Caesar,
with the self-imposed title of Dictator, has returned
to Rome prepared to accept the mantle of King from a
willing senate. Among Caesar’s highest ranking men are
Cassius and Brutus, long-time friends whose own ideals
and ambitions drive them to a conspiracy to make Rome
a Republic at the cost of Caesar’s life.
