R Julius Caesar T

A By William Shakespeare E

H Directed by Nicholas Hytner T National Theatre Live (Recording)

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University, Jupiter is partnering with National Theatre Live (NTL), which broadcasts world-class theatre and Bolshoi Ballet productions to cinemas in the U.K. and internationally. The programs that Osher LLI will show will not be live performances, but pre-recorded programs.

Ben Whishaw (“The Danish Girl,” “Skyfall,” “Hamlet”) and Michelle Fairley (“Fortitude,” “Game of Thrones”) play Brutus and Cassius, David Calder (“The Lost City of Z,” “The Hatton Garden Job”) plays Caesar and David Morrissey (“The Missing,” “Hangmen,” “The Walking Dead”) is Mark Antony. Broadcast live from The Bridge Theatre, London.

Caesar returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital.

Nicholas Hytner’s production will thrust the audience into the street party that greets Caesar’s return, the congress that witnesses his murder, the rally that assembles for his funeral and the chaos that explodes in its wake.
