Julius Caesar, Shakespeare

In addition to excellent acting, this production featured effective costuming and sets.  And a "musical score" lent the play certain cinematic qualities.  

A couple of observations.

1. This play remains on the short list of Shakespeare plays read in high school--at least in Connecticut where I teach.  Consequently, some of the famous scenes can seem like flat set pieces.  Not so tonight. Mark Antony's oration felt fresh, and I found myself hanging on each word, knowing that with each line he was undermining Brutus' "honorable" plans. 

2. This production made Brutus and Mark Antony equally appealing.  I found myself wanting them to negotiate a peace rather.

Recommended.
