NT Live: Julius Caesar

Nicholas Hytner directs a new take on the Shakespeare classic, from the National Theatre's 2018 season of live recordings direct from the London stage.

"Ben Whishaw (The Danish Girl) and Michelle Fairley (Fortitude) play Brutus and Cassius, David Calder (The Lost City of Z) plays Caesar and David Morrissey (The Missing) is Mark Antony. Broadcast live from The Bridge Theatre, London. Caesar returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital." (NT Live)
