Returning from the sell-out debut season, just two actors perform Shakespeare's most celebrated history play. Starring Elisa Jones and Josiah Morgan as boldly reimagined by Khalil Qualls, this production is a thrilling exploration of corruption and power in a divided political world.

Julius Caesar is all-powerful after a string of military and political successes. Plans are set into motion to make Julius Caesar an Emperor... and Caesar's friends gather to discuss their fears. They hatch a plan to assassinate Caesar... who will take up Caesar's mantle? Who will retain their honour? Shall Rome stand under one woman's awe?

Elisa Jones and Josiah Morgan are veteran performers on the Christchurch stage. Audiences have called this production "mindblowing," "charismatic" and "impactful." Flat City Field Notes called the production "so successful...perhaps Julius Caesar should always be a two person play."

Join us in the intimate Ashley Community Church as Julius Caesar is performed in traverse, with the audience immersed in this production from both sides.
