David Morrissey is electrifying as Mark Antony.
Michelle Fairley as Cassius
Electrifying.
David Calder as Caesar
Michelle Fairley gives a rivetingly intelligent performance.
David Calder is finely judged in the title role: both complacent and magisterial.
Ben Whishaw as Brutus
Ben Whishaw shines as Brutus.
David Morrissey as Mark Antony
Visceral and politically urgent.
Ben Whishaw (The Danish Girl, Skyfall, Hamlet) and Michelle Fairley (Fortitude, Game of Thrones) play Brutus and Cassius, David Calder (The Lost City of Z, The Hatton Garden Job) plays Caesar and David Morrissey (The Missing, Hangmen, The Walking Dead) is Mark Antony. Broadcast live from The Bridge Theatre, London.
Caesar returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital.
Nicholas Hytner’s production will thrust the audience into the street party that greets Caesar’s return, the congress that witnesses his murder, the rally that assembles for his funeral and the chaos that explodes in its wake.
Please note the run time is 2 hours and 15 minutes with no interval.
This broadcast has a BBFC As Live rating of 15.
Please note that Julius Caesar will contain some strobe lighting.
A pulse-quickening political tragedy.
Furiously exciting.
