“Definitely worth watching to see just how successfully Aulos Productions managed this unique and risky concept.”
★★★★, The Student
In 2016, our daring version of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar was performed from 1st-5th March in Augustine United Church.
“For always, I am Caesar“
A brand new twist on Shakespeare’s classic sees the play recast in the cutthroat world of professional football where there’s a grimy underworld beneath the charade of the modern football celebrity. Personal codes of honour are all that are left in a world of corruption, hooligans and futile violence.
Triumph and glory may be eternal, but individuals are not.
