"Cry Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war" (Act 3, Sc.1)
Aquila Theatre Company’s production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar asks the audience to consider the price of democracy and freedom and the consequences that can befall a society when it is asked to defend its core beliefs. Set in a world of political intrigue and strained domestic relationships, the production explores the moral and political dilemma of Marcus Brutus. Should he join the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar, conquering hero and trusted friend? Or, should he allow one man’s tyrannical ambition to overcome the very ideals that Rome was founded upon? His choice has the power to destroy the old world order and to ignite a fierce civil war.
