Opens at Brookdale July 8
LINCROFT, NJ – Brookdale’s Shakespeare Ensemble will present eight summer performances of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the spell-binding, supernatural tale of lust for power and its bloody repercussions. The shows, celebrating nine July seasons, will be held on the Great Lawn behind Larrison Hall, Lincroft main campus, 765 Newman Springs Road, on July 8, 9, 10, & 15, 16, 17 at 7:00 p.m. and July 11 & 18 at 6:00 p.m. All performances are free. Theatergoers are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets for the evening.
John Bukovec is directing the production which portrays the conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his assassination and its aftermath. The psychological drama is the struggle Marcus Brutus faces between the conflicting demands of honor, patriotism and friendship.
The tragedy is one of several Roman plays Shakespeare wrote that were based on true historical events. The play reflects the general anxiety of England over succession of leadership as the aging Queen Elizabeth had refused to name a successor, leading to worries that following the death of the strong ruler, a similar civil war might break out.
