Julius Caesar
Part of the Markeaton Park Outdoor Theatre Season 2024
Thu 27 - Sat 29 Jun 2024
Markeaton Park Craft Village
Running Time: 2 hours - approximate, including any interval(s).
About the Event
Rome 44BC. Egotistical Emperor Julius Caesar is sweating (and it’s not just the heatwave).
If you wish to buy tickets on the door please note due to unforseen circumstances payments can only be made by card.
His liberal Senators are a stabbing pain in the backside. They’ve had enough! Rome is in chaos, trust in the government is weak and the emperor’s fate is written in the stars (or the ‘entrails of a goat’). The peasants are revolting as the most famous political coup in literature is given the Oddsocks treatment. Expect the tearing of togas, the swishing of roman swords, some preposterous puppetry and the biggest battle scene five actors have ever created.
On your marcus, getus setus, let the games begin!
The Orangery will be open and providing drinks and snacks.
