About
‘Liberty, freedom, tyranny is dead!’
Harriet Walter reprises her role as Brutus in Phyllida Lloyd’s groundbreaking 2012 Donmar Warehouse production, bringing world-class theatre to schools across England, and to The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon.
From the back of a prison van, Ancient Rome is brought to the stage. Reflecting their own preoccupations with freedom and justice, a group of female prisoners present a 90-minute version of Julius Caesar. Soon, story and reality collide, and the impact of power politics feels very close to home.
Caesar’s creeping dominance in Rome risks democracy. A collective of conspirators secretly recruit the popular senator Brutus and they assassinate Caesar to reclaim the republic for the citizens. As terror and chaos rule the streets, Shakespeare’s politically-charged play exposes how the overthrow of a tyrant by violent means seldom leads to a peaceful outcome.
This First Encounters with Shakespeare tour in a co-production with KPPL Productions, sees Harriet Walter and the company in residence in five RSC partner secondary schools across the country, inviting young people to voice their opinions on how the themes of the play speak to our world today. On specified performances, audiences will be invited to join in post-show discussions about the critical questions raised by the production.
