CAESAR

by Merlynn Tong, Claire Christian, Jean Tong, Megan Wilding & Zoey Dawson

La Boite Theatre Company, 2021

“…look, to get serious – the themes of dictators, men in power. I mean… it’s all very now isn’t it.” – Jean Tong, Act 3, CAESAR 

Five acts. Five writers. One hot-take on Shakespeare you didn’t see coming. 

Shakespeare’s iconic thriller is pulled apart and reassembled with wicked humour, irreverence and passion as five fierce non-binary and female-identifying playwrights cleverly clap-back at power, politics and the patriarchy.
