Julius Caesar

...Bridge Theatre, Tower Bridge

...'David Calder’s Caesar, far from seeming a fascist monster whose overthrow we automatically cheer, emerges as a charismatic crowd-pleaser whose first instinct is to hurl his baseball cap into the audience. Only gradually do we see that this flesh-pressing figure is a dangerous autocrat: enthroned on a scarlet dais in the Capitol, he chillingly announces: “I could be well moved, if I were as you.” '
Michael Billington, Guardian

...Broadcast live to cinemas from the Bridge Theatre on 22 March
