The poet Cinna hardly speaks a word in Julius Caesar before he's mistaken for someone else and torn to pieces by the mob. Now he gets the chance to speak for himself. As Cinna searches for the subject of his next poem, the audience are invited to write with him, live.

This brilliantly clear introduction to Julius Caesar is a unique and warmly engaging, interactive show about words and activism, protest and power. Crouch's play goes to the narrative heart of Cinna's tragedy and uses the urgency of his story to explore the artist's relationship to political change in the world.
