Shakespeare Youth Festival will stage full productions of Shakespeare’s classic plays, Julius Caesar, Richard II, and The Tempest in repertory at the Hudson Theatre located in LA’s historic Theater Row. 

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.

The cast and creative team have been announced for Invictus Theatre Company’s modern dress production of Shakespeare’s JULIUS CAESAR, to be directed by Company Artistic Director Charles Askenaizer. The production will preview from October 20 to 23 and play through November 20, 2022.

Kip Williams’ (Director) new imagining of William Shakespeare’s tale of Ancient Roman power plays reinforces that politics hasn’t really changed as the 21st century is layered over the classic tragedy of JULIUS CAESAR.

'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.
