A Deep Dive into Julius Caesar
 

Since it was first performed, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar has been hailed as a gripping exploration of power, rhetoric and politics, and remained relentlessly relevant. Join us for this special lecture series where Australian academics delve into the play and its history, and unpack what Shakespeare’s political masterpiece tells us about our past, present and future.

With Professor David McInnis, Professor of Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama at The University of Melbourne, co-editor of Shakespeare Quarterly and currently editing Timon of Athens for the Arden Shakespeare 4th series.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
