After sellout shows around Te Waipounamu, 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. Don’t miss your chance to see this Shakespearean classic as you’ve never seen it before.

"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

 

“Captivating. Seamless.” - Louisa Clarkson

 

"(This production) was so successful perhaps Julius Caesar should ALWAYS be a two-person play." - Flat City Field Notes

 

"An excellent production that should be widely seen." - Theatreview
