NT Live: Julius Caesar
Thriller Nicholas Hytner directs a thrilling promenade staging of Shakespeare's political thriller of corrupted ambition and murderous intent, broadcast live from the noise-filled auditorium of The Bridge Theatre in London. The rabble-rousing citizens of Rome greet the return of Julius Caesar with a street party. However, the political elite are visibly alarmed by the autocrat's dizzying popularity and they secretly plot his assassination. Cassius lights the fuse on a bloodthirsty coup aided by Brutus.
