Julius Caesar in English in Rennes

The Théâtre national de Bretagne is staging Shakespeare's history play in January. This production by Arthur Nauzyciel, originally created in Boston, whisks the play away from ancient Rome to reset it in 1960s America. The story of a plot to assassinate a leader who is considered too powerful and threatening despotism echoes the many political assassinations in the United States in that era of social change, from John and Robert Kennedy to Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. https://youtu.be/_rAyJu_pjTk Julius Caesar In English, surtitled in French Théâtre National de Bretagne, Rennes 9-17 January 2025
