Et tu, Brute?Julius Caesar comes to Reps
Entertainment ReporterWilliam Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar will be staged at Harare’s Reps Theatre this month, bringing to the fore one of the Bard’s most important works.
Known more formally as The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, the play was written in 1599 and portrays the 44BC conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his assassination and the defeat of the conspirators at the Battle of Philippi.
It is one of several Roman plays that Shakespeare wrote, based on true events from the Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.
The play is an Ordinary Level set book this year and particular emphasis is being made in marketing this production to schools whose students are either studying this play or who may be literature students in general. Last year’s schools’ set book production, Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing”, was acclaimed critically and also enjoyed box office success.
As with last year’s production, this play is directed by John Dennison.
It will run on the Reps main stage from Thursday September 13 to Saturday September 22, with a preview night on Wednesday September 12.
Performances are at 7pm most evenings, with matinee performances on the afternoons of September 15, 16 and 22.
Although the title of the play is Julius Caesar, Caesar is not the most visible character in its action; he appears in only three scenes, and is killed at the beginning of the third act. Marcus Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines, and the central psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicting demands of
