Romans, Countrymen and Lovers, please join us for Shakespeare's Julius Caesar rudely adapted by Charles Marowitz as a brutal pre-emptive strike plummets the civilized world into the chaos of war. In Killing Caesar, renegade bardologist Charles Marowitz bends Shakespeare's tale of intrigue and assassination into unprecedented positions. Instigators Linda Quibell and Katrina Dunn have put together a dynamite group of artists to people a Rome fraught with political and military rivalries and moral ambiguities. A conspiracy is hatched, a tyrant is killed, wars are fought and ghosts appear--all in just over an hour. Shakespeare doesn't have to be long.

The cast of Killing Caesar features Lesley Ewen, Kevin Loring, John Murphy, Linda Quibell, Sarah May Redmond, Joshua Reynolds, Lenard Stanga, Reg Tupper, Lee Vincent, Peter Wilson, Tyler Kruspe and Adrienne Wong. Paul Moniz de Sá designs sound and John Webber lights. Katrina Dunn directs.
