Shakespeare's thriller At The Globe

Focused on the rise of Rome's magnetic leader, Julius Caesar, he is a formidable force of being, unlike any the city has ever seen. A charismatic politician, he appears to be hellbent on gaining absolute power. Angry at this threat to their political system, they are left to a small band of patriots to take matters into their own hands.

Not perfect but close

Overall this is an exceptional production that works extremely well. The balance and pace of the production are thoughtful and satisfying. The temporal transposition, so suitable for this play works beautifully. Highly recommended. Cassius, Caesar and Anthony are all superb throughout. Brutus grows through the evening but ultimately seemed miscast in this particular role. View from 3A was good, but you really had to sit forward much of the time. Sorry to those in 3B behind. The promenaders below must have had a great experience, but they surely needed stamina for 2 hours. Ate at Tom Simmons around the corner beforehand - also excellent food and reasonable prices (with good veggie choices). All in all an unforgettable first visit to the Bridge. ... Read more
