Julius Caesar Theatre Break

Julius Caesar directed by Lucy Bailey

As Julius Caesars strength and popularity look set to propel him to the imperial throne, those closest to him act to prevent what they fear will become a dictatorship. But the brutal assassination of one man unleashes a tide of violence that will drag thousands into a bloody civil war.

A masterpiece of political powerplay and manipulation, Julius Caesar examines the conflict between one mans ambition and the good of the state.

Director Lucy Bailey joins the RSC for the first time. Lucys recent credits include Timon of Athens and Titus Andronicus for Shakespeares Globe as well as work with Chichester Festival Theatre, Hampstead Theatre and the National Theatre, where her acclaimed production of Baby Doll played before transferring to the West End. Other Shakespeare productions include Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Nights Dream for the Royal Exchange Theatre. She also directed the West Yorkshire Playhouse and West End hit The Postman Always Rings Twice with a cast including Val Kilmer.
