Featuring a contemporary staging with up-and-coming talent, this engrossing political thriller portrays the life-and-death struggle for power in Rome.

Despite warnings to beware the Ides of March, Caesar goes to the senate and is killed, leaving the future of Rome in question.

A partnership between the Guthrie and The Acting Company, this bold interpretation captures the energy of the current American political landscape, from front-and-center rallies, protests and conventions, to behind-the-scenes deal making and strategizing. Don’t miss this action-packed drama, asking what happens when political convictions create conflict, in the Guthrie’s most intimate space.
