Julius Caesar

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
 But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”

Fearing that Julius Caesar, returning to Rome after triumph in battle, will seize total power, Rome’s elite plot his murder. After Caesar dies at the hand of his friend Brutus, his successor Mark Antony drives the conspirators out of Rome and defeats them in battle, leaving him to rule. This production spotlights the insidious effects of patriarchy, while Shakespeare’s portrayal of ambition, power and betrayal make for an unsettling parallel between ancient Rome and contemporary culture.

Since 1958, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has enchanted audiences with world-class theatre on the University of Colorado Boulder campus. Make Shakespeare part of your Colorado summer in the elegant, climate-controlled Roe Green Indoor Theatre.
