Just two actors perform Shakespeare's most celebrated history play.
Julius Caesar is all-powerful after a string of military and political successes. Plans are set into motion to make Julius Caesar an Emperor ... and Caesar's friends gather to discuss their fears. They hatch a plan to assassinate Caesar ... who will take up Caesar's mantle? Who will retain their honour? Shall Rome stand under one woman's awe?
Starring Elisa Jones and Josiah Morgan as boldly reimagined by Khalil Qualls, this production is a thrilling exploration of corruption and power in a divided political world. Elisa Jones and Josiah Morgan are veteran performers on stages around Aotearoa and internationally. Don’t miss your chance to see this Shakespearean classic as you’ve never seen it before.
"Mindblown." - Sophie Atienza
"One of the best live Shakespeare shows I've seen." - Charlotte Thornton
“[Two] performers whip the arse off Julius Caesar in a small and intimate environment. I cannot rave enough about the dynamic acting twists and turns." - Belinda-Cullen Reid
“Brilliant production. Charismatic and impactful.” - Felicity Williams, Canvas Bag Theatre School
“Captivating. Seamless.” - Louisa Clarkson
"The production was so engaging ... I enjoyed watching it a lot, and the actors were clearly working really hard ... Seeing three actors do Julius Caesar so well shocked me. Maybe all plays should have less actors in them? What would this do to theatre in Aotearoa? [This production] was so successful perhaps Julius Caesar should ALWAYS be a two-person play." - Claudia Jardine & Nathaniel Herz-Edinger, Flat City Field Notes
