The Assassination of J.KAISAAR:The Rise of Augustus. " the Sopranos Meet Mad Max
We are very honored to have been invited to put "The Assassination of J. Kaisaar: The Rise of Augustus up for a second run at Theater for the New City, Crystal Field, Artistic Director. It is a re-imagined version of Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra set in a dystopian future but with American lingo - like Tony Soprano meets Mad Max. The theme is that political assassination can have many unintended consequences re: the conspirators Brutus and Cassius thought they were saving the free men (and women) of the Republic but instead put the nails into its coffin because the assassination brought Octavius to the fore who would go on to become the first Roman Emperor (Augustus). So the days of the Republic with free men (and women) deciding their own fates had ended with Caesar's murder with the situation being analogous to the take over by the corporatist state.
