Description

Berkeley Shakespeare Company is incredibly excited to be kicking off its 2025 season with an iconic piece from the bard, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Continuing the company’s tradition of finding fresh perspectives to bring these classics to Berkeley and the larger Bay Area, Caesar will take audiences on an unexpected exploration of the nature of politics, ambition, and revenge.

Set against the backdrop of a destroyed future, this subversive take will explore a culture addicted to the politics of failure and how those trends resonate through our past, present, and threaten our future. Taking heavy influence from the political satire of Stanley Kubrick’s classic Dr. Strangelove this production promises to be Julius Caesar like you’ve never seen.
