JULIUS CAESAR
VARIETY SHOW
JULIUS CAESAR
VARIETY SHOW
Amidst a riot outside the theatre, three auditionees from different identity backgrounds audition for a part in one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, directly by an intensely respected director set on reinventing the play in "unorthodox" styles. As the audition unfolds, the actor's identities are called into the audition room.
JULIUS CAESAR VARIETY SHOW is a raw interrogation into the difficult conversations happening in theatre today. It creates a platform for voices that are frequently the subject of debate, yet often absent from the conversation. Because at the end of the day, if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.
