SHOGUN CAESAR

One of the most famous political events of history and Shakespeare's greatest political tragedy is transformed by Lumina into a display of Eastern sound and vision. Transported to Medieval Japan, Julius Caesar dramatizes the fall of a great warrior Shogun and the scramble for power in a land teetering on the edge of chaos. With the Code of Honor being the highest standard in feudal Japan as it was in ancient Rome, CAESAR shows a society where a warrior is judged by the noblest ideals - and can experience the highest fall from grace. With some of the greatest verse of the Bard's plays ("Cry Havoc! and let slip the dogs of war!, "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.", "When beggars die, there are no comets seen; the heavens themselves blaze forth in death of princes"), CAESAR is a symphony for the ears; costumed in traditional Japanese court dress the Lumina production will be a feast for the eyes. The first time in Lumina's 10 year history to produce this great play!
