Throughline Theatre to Stage JULIUS CAESAR
by Tyler Peterson - Jul 12, 2016
Shakespeare's play depicts both the buildup to Caesar's assassination and the violent aftermath of the murder. Cassius, the chief conspirator against Caesar, convinces Brutus, once Caesar's loyal friend, that Caesar has become too powerful and that assassination is the only way to protect the people from tyranny. They carry out the murder but then encounter a powerful enemy in Mark Antony. In place of the traditional Roman setting, Throughline's production is set in a tent city and explores the connection of Shakespeare's text to the violence and class division of today's world.
