Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar

Chicago Shakespeare Theater
800 East Grand Avenue Chicago

Using present-day Washington as a backdrop for this timeless historical drama, Chicago Shakespeare Theater presents a modern staging of one of Shakespeare's most admired, consistently performed and adaptable plays, Julius Caesar. Packed with political treachery and shifting alliances, the historically-inspired work recounts the ruptured relationship between Caesar and Brutus, which results in a plot by Roman senators Brutus and Cassius to murder their leader, which in turn incites a civil war at the dawn of the Roman empire. Presented in Chicago Shakespeare's Courtyard Theater, this production is helmed by acclaimed British director Jonathan Munby, whose work has graced the stages of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Shakespeare's Globe.
