Marcus Brutus
by Paul Foster
Synopsis
This acclaimed, brilliantly conceived play is an intensely intellectual metaphor on the nature of political murder structured as a psychological thriller.
In a playwright's study his characters spring to life and Brutus's and Caesar's ancient blood feud over the abuse of power and the Republic's corruption for imperial ends erupts again as a contemporary conflict.
The mounting sense of urgency and impending tragedy are pierced often by humor.
Press Reviews
