Julius Caesar at Marin Shakespeare Company

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Jon Tracy’s wildly theatrical outdoor production examines how fear, loyalty,
and the stories nations tell can shape the course of history.

Set in an imagined Rome shaped by the lingering tensions of conflicts past and preceding the digital age, Tracy’s production places Shakespeare’s political tragedy inside a fractured society under constant pressure. Echoes of the Cold War run throughout the world of the play, where military power is ever-present, public devotion can become dangerous, and private relationships carry the weight of national consequence.

The production embraces the full theatrical capability of Forest Meadows Amphitheatre with a massive set taking over the entire stage and backstage area, allowing a scope large enough to showcase rallies, riots, and military actions; yet immediately intimate to expose human frailty, and the youth of a generation raised beneath the consequences of decisions made in their name. Familiar speeches unfold as demonstrations of how public certainty can be constructed, challenged, and redirected in real time.

Schedule: Thurs–Sat 7:30pm; Sun 5:00pm.
