Caesar 2012

  

"This production moves fast and far...Immersion Theatre earns considerable credit for this production and should feel proud to have delivered such a bold and ambitious take on this piece and to have done it so well"-News Shopper (Esther Hodgson) *****

Set amongst the sordid streets of a dystopian bohemia, we are confronted with the remains of a once strong and powerful Rome.  A city which has decayed into a society of corruption and lawlessness, now governed in name by the powerful Matriarch known as Caesar, but in reality by violence, ambition and brutality.

  

"With smoke, strobes and a cinematic soundtrack, Immersion Theatre present a big-screen blockbuster for the small stage...the spectacle is exciting, violent and sexy...the setting and performances bring the concept to life" -OneStop Arts (Tom Oakley)

Immersion Theatre graphically brings to life this gritty, gothic underworld with a focus on power, sex and morality.  A cast of young talent brings an edgy, raw, almost uncomfortable realism to the piece.

 

When: 28th February – 10th March 2012 at 7.45pm

Where: Jack Studio Theatre, 410 Brockley Road, London SE4 2DH

Tickets: £12 (10 concessions)

"Teenage audiences will be thrilled to see their classroom studies brought to life in a world familiar to them and older audiences will enjoy the underlining of the timeless universality of Shakespeare's insights into the vulnerabilities of men and women"-BWW (Gary Naylor)
