Julius Caesar

Tickets

Tangle Theatre’s fast-moving production drives through the political chaos, power struggles and friendship betrayals at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest thriller.

“It must be by his death…”

Julius Caesar has become a tyrant. Cassius sees the threat. Brutus is torn by loyalty. Together, they conspire to kill Caesar.

When Cassius and Brutus murder Caesar in full public view on the Ides of March, they think they have heralded a new political age. Instead, chaos erupts, and civil war begins. Who will seize power? Will this bring conflict or stability? Will the new ruler also fall to corruption?

Adapted and directed by Anna Coombs with John Pfumojena’s original music performed live on stage, this high-energy production brings African-inspired storytelling into the heart of ancient Rome.

Julius Caesar continues Tangle’s long-term commitment to championing African and Caribbean artistic excellence, presenting classic plays in new and surprising ways to audiences of all kinds.
