This all-female JULIUS CAESAR, adapted by Caitlin McWethy, dives headfirst into power, ambition, and identity in a patriarchal world where a small group of women are calling the shots. It unpacks the fear of powerful women and the strategies they use to lead in a system stacked against them. The cracks in solidarity, the clash of personal and political agendas, the relentless demand to appear flawless while hiding every vulnerability – it’s all laid bare. This isn’t just Shakespeare; it’s a raw, unfiltered look at what it means to lead when the pressure is coming at you from all sides – society, your peers, and even yourself.
