The bard's Roman drama Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company returns with our biggest production yet: Julius Caesar. Join us as we revisit Shakespeare's timeless story of power struggle, hierarchy, and inherited violence, set in the context of the 1950s New York mob. Mob boss Julius Caesar is popular and loved by those beneath him. Afraid that Caesar may strive towards over-reaching rule, his closest friends conspire to kill him. The warfare that ensues displaces the mob from everything that is familiar to them.
