April 26, 2011—The Cromulent Shakespeare Company presents free performances of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare's glimpse into Ancient Rome's turbulent political climate, in Minneapolis and St. Paul area parks this June.
"Julius Caesar is a story about friendship, futility, suicide and even love to a certain extent," says the production's director Mark Palmer. "In this play, a close friend of Julius Caesar is cajoled into joining a group of vengeful conspirators who fear that Caesar is becoming too powerful. The conspiracy is successful, but was it to the nation's benefit?"
