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.
