Caesar, Cincinnatus, and Gloriana: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
at 10:30 a.m.
Classical Greece and Rome were part of the popular culture of Revolutionary America just as they were in Elizabethan England when Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar. We’ll consider the resonance of this play in the Elizabethan era as Shakespeare’s contemporaries considered the loss of a long-reigning monarch and again in the Revolutionary War as General Washington eschewed a potential military dictatorship in favor of civilian rule by Congress. This program begins a series of play discussions in conjunction with author Ian Doescher's Shakespeare 2020 Project. Free admission. Register at 908-725-1015 or wallacedutch@dep.nj.gov. Wallace House State Historic Site, 71 Somerset Street, Somerville.
