Review: BALTIMORE, LEND ME YOUR EAR! at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
by Daniel Collins - Jun 30, 2025

One does not have to be a fan of Shakespeare (or iambic pentameter) to know the tragic tale of JULIUS CAESAR – how this would-be-Emperor was felled by members of the Roman Senate, Caesar’s failure to beware the Ides of March, the famed line, “Et tu, Brute?”, before falling in a pool of blood and history.

by Tina Collins - Jun 25, 2025

There may be no better place to witness the slow, thunderous unraveling of a republic than beneath the open skies of the Patapsco Female Institute’s crumbling grandeur.

St. Louis Shakespeare’s production of Julius Caesar is an excellent opportunity for high-school and college students studying this piece to see a decent staged production.

Interview: David Melville on Directing Shakespeare's Gritty Political Thriller JULIUS CAESAR
by Shari Barrett - Jul 9, 2023

Given recent events and political drama, including propaganda used to sway the public, nothing should surprise modern audiences when it comes to politics. But perhaps the most well-known dramatic representation of political intrigue takes place in Shakespeare’s classic play Julius Caesar, which centers around the events that led to his assassination by Roman senators on the 'Ides of March' (March 15) 44 B.C.E.  I decided to speak with David Melville about how the production will differ from more traditional staging and why he decided it would be a good fit for audiences.

BWW Review: Compact JULIUS CAESAR Comes Up Short at Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum
by Evan Henerson - Jul 26, 2021

'A lean an hungry look,' Julius Caesar’s oft-quoted descriptor for Cassius, is an apt metaphor for the season-opening production of JULIUS CAESAR at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, and not always in a good way. The leanness box is dutifully checked, but director Ellen Geer’s production could certainly be hungrier and more thought out.
