Julius Caesar, in Italian.
There's not much to say about this one.
I didn't like it. The company was devoted to making the play
strange. Julius Caesar himself only made an appearance in the first
scene, and after that, disappeared from the play. Calpurnia was
given a larger role, but the main characters were obviously Brutus
and Cassio. The actors interacted with three doors (that were moved
by other characters, trying to hide behind them) and a broken-down
chair. Later, two garbage cans were added. I would have been OK
with the show if I had a clue what the doors, chair, or garbage can
were supposed to signify. However, much of the odd parts of the show
had no meaning or relevance to what was going on, or at least, not
that I could discern. The actors were passionate, but kept the same
note throughout the show.
I was disappointed, especially after
being spoiled by the last three shows.
