STAGE TUBE: Trailer for RSC's JULIUS CAESAR Starring Ray Fearon & Paterson Joseph

Watch the new trailer film for the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Julius Caesar, opening in Stratford-Upon-Avon next week from 28 May and in London this summer from 8 August at the Noel Coward Theatre.

Set in modern day Africa, the RSC's new production of Julius Caesar features a distinguished cast including RAY FEARON as Mark Antony; Paterson Joseph as Brutus; JEFFERY KISSOON as Caesar and Cyril Nri as Cassius.

A fast-moving thriller about a struggle for democracy, William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is also a story about two men united by an explosive act of political violence. With echoes of the recent overthrow of dictators during the 'Arab Spring', the production explores the implications of political assassination and the unpredictability of its aftermath.

The production is directed by RSC Artistic Director Designate Gregory Doran and has also been filmed for broadcast on BBC Four as part of the BBC's Shakespeare Unlocked season.
