The Assassination of Julius Caesar as Told by William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw, as the title suggests, is a combination of Julius Caesar as presented in Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and Julius Caesar as presented in George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra. It is also about a group of people putting on a play about Caesar although we never learn who they are or anything about them. They are not even given character names.  

Whether Caesar was a good leader or a tyrant may be debatable, but he clearly was a dictator. Currently, when it seems like every time you turn around a new dictator is popping up somewhere, the show is scarily relevant.  This is clearly a very good time for a cautionary tale about a dictator.  However, although the concept for this particular show is interesting and exciting, the show itself can be confusing and hard to keep track of. 

And that's our view. For more about The Assassination of Julius Caesar as Told by William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw or to purchase tickets, visit bedlam.org/whatson/bedlams-2024-season
