Julius Caesar

Presented by Company of Wolves

Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?

Brutus and Cassius fear Caesar will crown himself king. But when they kill Caesar to prevent him taking the throne, they unleash forces that threaten to tear their world apart.

What happens when we trust the wrong people? When we confuse conspiracy and reality? What happens when we cannot see ourselves? The superb physical theatre ensemble Company of Wolves return to Skye with one of Shakespeare’s most renowned Roman tragedies.

Five actors immerse us in this troubled time in Italian history, creating a world on the brink of crisis, teeming with crowds and politics: a wild ride from the streets of Rome to the steps of the Capitol, from whispers in the night to outright war. With their signature physicality, Company of Wolves breathe new life into Shakespeare’s masterpiece, exposing the thin line between trust and deceit, conspiracy and reality, civilisation and mob rule.
