Royal Shakespeare Company's JULIUS CAESAR Presented Over Memorial Day Weekend in Jaffrey

The Royal Shakespeare Company's current production of William Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR, the epic political tragedy, will be presented at Jaffrey's River Street Theatre (RST), a project of The Park Theatre, as part of its RST Stage2Screen Series this Sunday, May 28 plus Monday, May 29.

In the story, Caesar returns from war, all-conquering, but mutiny is rumbling through the corridors of power. The "Our Rome" season of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre opens with the politics of spin and betrayal turning to violence. Following his sell-out productions of Tom Morton-Smith's Oppenheimer (2014) and James Fenton's adaptation of Don Quixote (2016), Season Director Angus Jackson steers the thrilling action as the race to claim the empire spirals out of control. The role of Julius Caesar is played by veteran British stage and film actor Andrew Woodall (The Count of Monte Christo). JULIUS CAESAR was broadcast live to cinemas worldwide on April 26.

JULIUS CAESAR has four showtimes at the RST over the Memorial Day weekend: Sunday, May 28 at 12pm, 3:30pm and 7pm. It will also be shown on Monday, May 29 at 2pm. The production has a total running time of 2 hours and 32 minutes and there is one 20 minute intermission.

Tickets for this Stage2Screen event are $20 each (students and teachers with ID: $15).
