Shakespeare's exciting historical tale of politics and corruption in ancient Rome contains some of his most eloquent writing. Mark Antony's stirring and powerful 'Friends, Romans, countrymen' speech, Brutus' struggle with his conscience and the thrilling final battle scenes have enthralled audiences for centuries. Shakespeare's keen examination of political and personal downfalls, caused by pride, conspiracy and greed offers rich material for review and discussion.
Stephen Muterspaugh (who directed the hit 2012-13 tour of A Midsummer Night's Dream) also directs this 55-minute show, performed in Shakespeare’s original text.
As always, our touring production travels with a cast of professional actors in costume, with set, props, and recorded music. At the conclusion of the show they will stay to take questions from the audience. Included are THREE WEEKS OF ONE-HOUR LESSON PLANS, written especially for teachers and indexed to state standards. These guides have been acclaimed as valuable resources in readily facilitating an enhanced understanding of the plot, themes, character motives, and language found in Shakespeare’s writing.
Shakespeare is a poet as well as a playwright, and much of his information is conveyed through visual imagery and live performance. Don’t miss this thoroughly affordable opportunity to have his text come to life at YOUR location! If you are interested in having Shakespeare on Tour visit your school, please view our pricing
and staging requirements.
