RSC Associate Schools – Julius Caesar (Regional Playmaking 2026)
(inc. £2.50 ticket levy)
Show Bio
In a republic shaken by ambition and political unrest, a conspiracy to protect democracy sets in motion a devastating chain of events.
Julius Caesar, returning triumphant to Rome, stands on the brink of absolute power. Fearing tyranny, a group of senators led by Brutus make the fateful decision to act. But when loyalty to a friend clashes with duty to a nation, trust is broken and the consequences spiral beyond control. As alliances crumble and civil war erupts, the line between honour and betrayal blurs, and the cost of power is paid in blood.
The RSC Associate Schools’ programme is the RSC’s long-term partnership with schools and regional theatres across England.
The Playmaking Festival is a celebration of the talent and voices of young people from our region. Each night, a hundred students from across the East of England will collaborate to perform an abridged version of Shakespeare’s powerful tragedy.
This year’s festival marks the culmination of the eighth year of the Associate Schools’ programme in our region, showcasing the work and partnership of a cluster of primary and secondary schools, led by Ormiston Sudbury Academy, one of the RSC’s Lead Associate Schools.
