Frog & Peach Theatre Co. Presents Benefit Reading of JULIUS CAESAR With Estelle Parsons, Rip Torn, et al. 10/4
By: Kelsey Denette Sep. 21, 2011
In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the men and women of Rome are torn: relinquish the freedoms of the Republic by making Caesar King, or assassinate Caesar and keep Rome free?
Avarice, envy, and vanity run rampant in the corridors of power and in the hearts of citizens in Julius Caesar, a shockingly modern play about politics, the military, and the media in times of national crisis.
The reading stars Rip Torn (Caesar), Austin Pendleton (Brutus), Tom Noonan (Casca), Estelle Parsons (Calphurnia), Shirley Knight (Portia), and Ryan Tramont.
