Luxembourg is not known its Shakespearean theatre, so you know you will catch the attention of the public when you advertise that Julius Caesar is coming to town.

A thought-provoking masterpiece that makes one reflect about major questions of politics and society. Does the most virtuous of men deserve to rule with unlimited power? Can the ignorant and impressionable be trusted to make the right decisions, or will they eventually lead their country to ruin?

SYLVIA, a play by two-time Pulitzer Prize-nominee A.R. Gurney (The Dining Room, Love Letters) and directed by Tony Award-winner Daniel Sullivan (Proof) opens on Broadway tonight, October 27, 2015. Let's see what the critics had to say...

In this production, 'the world' that Cassius refers to isn't Rome, but Russia.

One tragedy that is synonymous with Shakespeare is JULIUS CAESAR. It is one of the classics that, at some point, is forced upon by high school English teachers. The challenge with producing a famously known Shakespeare piece is keeping it fresh and relevant to today's audience.
