ROME SWEET ROME, the latest production from the Q Brothers Collective at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, has a cool concept: JULIUS CAESAR, but make it hip hop. Like the group’s previous endeavors, the show takes a classic Shakespeare play and updates it with modern sensibilities. The resulting show, though, is really on the nose, both in terms of parallels to the current political climate (here, Caesar is an authoritarian leader who loves the sound of his own voice) and in the writing itself.

Chicago Shakespeare Theater has revealed the cast and creative team for Rome Sweet Rome, a wild and satirical new “add-rap-tation” of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar from Q Brothers Collective. Learn more!
