In this classic Shakespeare drama, Caesar's tyrannical rule of Rome divides the city, the Senators and his friends. But his assassination does not help matters, sending the people of Rome into warring factions as the city descends into bloody civil chaos.
Academy Award winning actor Denzel Washington will play Brutus in this new production, the first Broadway staging of Julius Caesar in over 50 years. It will mark his first New York stage appearance since 1988, when he played a lead in the short-lived comedy Checkmates at the 46th Street Theatre.
