Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar

Description

Original Post Prompt: For your first post to this forum offer readers a description of your proposed production of this play to make it relevant to current audiences. Describe your sets and characterization in some detail, note a few key passages of the play’s text your production would highlight, and note any cuts you might make. Explain how your production would bring Shakespeare’s play in dialog with current events. Scenario: You have been asked to direct a version of Julius Caesar in a summer Shakespeare festival. You have to work with the language and plot points and characters in Shakespeare’s original play, but you can create the sets and costumes and you can make edits of the play (as all directors/producers do) deciding which passages to emphasize and which could be cut and so on.
