About the Project
Tired of modern-day America? Come see a COMEDY about a republic’s descent into a fascist emp–– oh. Um, anyway… if you’re a fan of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Antony & Cleopatra, but want to see them both in one show, AND want to see everyone speak MODERN-DAY AMERICAN ENGLISH, come on down!
Was Caesar fascist, or progressive, or (gasp)… communist?
Was Titus… his ~heated rival~? ;)
Was Cleopatra smart as hell, or was she for the streets? Or both!?
Will Brutus… do anything?? Will Cassius… kick some ass?
Was Marc Antony… not a dumbass?
Was Clodius… the most fabulous queer gang leader in all of antiquity?
Was Octavian… an overrated twerp?
Will Cicero unite the crowd as the self-proclaimed “enlightened centrist” that Gavin Newsom aspires to be?
…and WHO the HELL are Pompey and Crassus?
They’ll fight, they’ll fornicate, they’ll make several allegories to the modern day… and they will MAKE YOU LAUGH! It’s the greatest story history ever told, and it’s an extravaganza you’ll NEVER FORGET!
Some roles will be gender-bended… because who doesn’t want to see women slay as violent historical figures?
