Casting announced for JULIUS CAESAR at Shakespeare's Globe
Shakespeare’s Globe has announced the cast and creative team of Julius Caesar, directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins, which runs at the venue from 6 November – 14 February.
Joe Hill-Gibbins returns to direct Shakespeare’s brutal and timely tale of friendship, betrayal and political violence, staged for the first time ever in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
The cast will comprise Kate Duchêne (Quartet in Autumn, Arcola Theatre) as Julius Caesar/Soothsayer/Octavius Caesar, Caoilfhionn Dunne (A Small and Quiet Light, Orange Tree Theatre/Chichester Festival Theatre) as Brutus, Adam Gillen (How The Other Half Loves, Old Vic) as Mark Antony, and Natey Jones (Pressure, Brixton House) as Cassius.
Director Joe Hill-Gibbins said: “I'm so excited to bring this timely story, performed by a company of four incredible actors, to audiences in the Wanamaker this winter. Reviving a classic play in front of a contemporary audience creates a kind of time machine, which allows us to pull the past into the present and for our present to inhabit the past. I can't wait for the spirits of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Cassius and Brutus to rise and possess the atmospheric and intimate Wannamaker theatre this winter".
The creative team also includes candlelight designer Charles Balfour, co-composers Zands Duggan and Louise Anna Duggan, designer Rosanna Vize, movement and intimacy director Joana Nastari, and casting director Becky Paris CDG.
