About the show
Julius Caesar is Necessary Cat Limited's production of Shakespeare's bloody historical tragedy, performed at Dunedin Theatre. Brutus, anxious to prevent tyrannical rule of Rome, joins Cassius in a conspiracy to assassinate Caesar — and the consequences are devastating. Using Shakespeare's original language, the company brings the story up to date, presenting it as a timelessly relevant study of a terrifying political landscape. Content warnings include weapons including knives and a gun, stage blood, and flashing lights. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Shakespeare's most urgent political thriller, made newly relevant by Necessary Cat Limited's contemporary staging. Themes of ambition, betrayal and the corruption of power land differently every decade — and this one is no exception.
