“One man’s tragedy is another man’s happy day.”
By David Davalos
A struggling poet named Virgil bumps into Julius Caesar and accidentally creates the Roman Empire in this world-premier, comical-historical take on Shakespeare’s tragic history Julius Caesar. Shifting perspective toward peripheral characters, David Davalos’ supernatural fable of sooth and consequence leans into the laughter — after all, the fall and rise of Caesar weren’t exactly a tragedy for every Roman citizen.
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 Theatre indoors.
