We have just been through one of the most tumultuous election seasons in recent memory—including violence, polarization, and real-life reminders of how voters can change their minds based on rhetoric and communication strategies. The A.C.T. OUT Tour’s production of Julius Caesar asks important questions about threats to democracy and how deeply polarized societies avoid civil war.
Julius Caesar contains some of the most memorable language in Shakespeare, not to mention detailed characterizations and deep explorations of human relationships. Shishir Kurup’s translation preserves all of Shakespeare’s magnificent rhetoric while making obscure humor and historical references more accessible. Seven dynamic actors bring this story to life in a tight 90-minute adaptation, performed in the round with exciting audience interactions.
