Julius Caesar

Film Description:

Caesar returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital.

Nicholas Hytner’s production of Julius Caesar will thrust the audience into the street party that greets Caesar’s return, the congress that witnesses his murder, the rally that assembles for his funeral, and the chaos that explodes in its wake.

Ben Whishaw (The Danish Girl, Skyfall, Hamlet) and Michelle Fairley (Fortitude, Game of Thrones) play Brutus and Cassius, David Calder (The Lost City of Z) plays Caesar and David Morrissey (The Missing, Hangmen, The Walking Dead) is Mark Antony. Filming takes place at The Bridge Theatre, London. [2018, UK, Runtime: 2:15, Rated: R].

“This is an electrifying production that works on the senses as well as the mind to deliver a stark warning about the potency of populism”, writes Sarah Hemming of The Financial Times. “An urgent interpretation of the play,” writes Paul Taylor of The Independent, “strongly recommended”.

Please note that Julius Caesar will contain strobe lighting.
