The Assassination of Julius Caesar as told by William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw will have its world premiere at the West End Theatre (263 West 86th St.), starting performances on February 24th, 2024. The play is adapted and directed by Eric Tucker from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and Caesar and Cleopatra by George Bernard Shaw. Tucker’s adaptation will be an in-depth examination of the character of Julius Caesar by combining Shakespeare and Shaw’s character as one.

      

Caesar’s journey from Alexandria to Rome, from beloved, charismatic leader to a perhaps mistrusted tyrant will be especially potent in this election year.
