Theatre Unleashed is eager to bring another Shakespeare piece to the stage with a very unique look at his classic tale of conspiracy, betrayal and murder, Julius Caesar. Set in the 1940s, in a United States battered by the effects of World War II, a group of women whose male loved ones are off fighting gather in a community center and present the play as a way to help them understand and cope with the war, and the pain, suffering and loss it’s caused. Along the way, they find a new perspective on not just The Bard’s brilliant psychological drama, but also on their own lives and the conflicting demands of honor, loyalty, friendship…and community.
