Presented by Tangle with support from Mayflower Studios
Julius Caesar
9 – 11 October 2025
Event details
“It must be by his death…”
Julius Caesar has become a tyrant.
A conspiracy is launched against him by some of his closest friends. When Cassius and Brutus murder Caesar in full public view on the Ides of March, they think they have heralded a new political age.
Instead, chaos erupts, and civil war begins. Who will seize power? Will this bring conflict or stability? Will the new ruler also fall to corruption?
Tangle’s fast-moving production drives through the political chaos, power struggles and friendship betrayals at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest thriller.
Adapted and directed by Anna Coombs with John Pfumojena’s original music performed live on stage, this high-energy production brings African-inspired storytelling into the heart of ancient Rome.
