Official Julius Caesar (2018) Trailer w/ Ben Whishaw - Bridge Theatre | National Theatre Collection

Caesar (Adjoa Andoh) returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital.

Nicholas Hytner’s production thrusts the audience into the street party that greets Caesar’s (David Calder) return, the congress that witnesses his murder, the rally that assembles for his funeral and the chaos that explodes in its wake.

Ben Whishaw and Michelle Fairley play Brutus and Cassius, leaders of the coup, David Calder plays Caesar and David Morrissey is Mark Antony, who brings Rome back under control after the conspirators’ defeat.

William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar was filmed live at the Bridge Theatre, London, by National Theatre Live in 2018. It is available for educational establishments to watch with the National Theatre Collection.
