Week of Will 2018 - National Theatre Live - Julius Caesar

National Theatre Live is the UK National Theatre’s groundbreaking project to broadcast world-class theatre to cinemas in the UK and internationally. Recorded live from the Bridge Theatre in London to Pittsburgh's SouthSide Works Cinema on Sunday April 29th @ 11AM, Nicholas Hytner directs a new take on the Shakespeare classic - Julius Caesar. The run time is 2hr 15m with no interval. Cinema tickets $20

Synopsis:

Ben Whishaw (The Danish Girl, Skyfall, Hamlet) and Michelle Fairley (Fortitude, Game of Thrones) play Brutus and Cassius, David Calder (The Lost City of Z, The Hatton Garden Job) plays Caesar and David Morrissey (The Missing, Hangmen, The Walking Dead) is Mark Antony. Broadcast live from The Bridge Theatre, London. 

Caesar returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital.

Nicholas Hytner’s production will thrust the audience into the street party that greets Caesar’s return, the congress that witnesses his murder, the rally that assembles for his funeral and the chaos that explodes in its wake.

This broadcast has a BBFC As Live rating of 15. Please note that Julius Caesar will contain some strobe lighting.
