An all‑women Julius Caesar arrives at The Studio@620, reimagining Shakespeare’s political thriller inside the modern corporate world. Adapted by Roxanne Fay and directed by Kristin Clippard, the production examines how ambition, persuasion, and fear shape the pursuit of power when women step into roles historically-written for men. With a cast of leading Tampa Bay artists interrogating the language and emotional stakes of the play, this contemporary staging brings renewed urgency to questions of leadership, loyalty, and the ease with which public opinion can be swayed.
