✸ Carlos Reads Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar
Monday, October 3; 7:30 pm, Board Room
Only appearing for a short time in the play, the figure of Julius
Ceasar casts a large shadow over the entire drama. As much about
Brutus as Caesar, this tragedy of the back-stabbing friend and the
consequences of his actions play out across the very public spectacle
of a burgeoning empire. Though grounded in Roman history the
play lends itself well to critical dialogue about democratic processes
and popular sovereignty that sound familiar in a 21st-century
American context.
