Photo Flash: First Look at JULIUS CAESAR at Covent Garden
For the fifth successive year and following the success of last year's As You Like It, Iris Theatre returns to St Paul's Church in the heart of Covent Garden, with an open-air production of Shakespeare's vivid political thriller, Julius Caesar, which runs from Wednesday 26 June and Friday 26 July.
Press night is Monday July 1 at 7.30pm.
Set in the intimate gardens of an historic 17th century English church, this promenade production will take audiences into the racing heart of Shakespeare's drama.The Republic stands on a knife edge. Chaos and ruin threaten on all sides. Through the fog of war a charismatic leader emerges; but Caesar's strength is a threat to democracy itself. Brother will turn on brother, freedom fighters will become terrorists, and blood will be spilled. When you play for an Empire, you win or you die...
Driven forward by a contemporary soundtrack, the audience will follow the story through the gardens and buildings of St. Paul's; dancing in the Lupercalian festival, standing judgement in the Senate, and maybe even striking against Caesar with the conspirators.
