Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.

This year, audiences will be immersed in a 60-minute adaptation of Shakespeare’s tale of ambition, loyalty and betrayal in ancient Rome.

For over 30 years the OT’s Primary Shakespeare project has introduced tens of thousands of children to Shakespeare and theatre. Each year, our actors run workshops in local schools before the children see them perform on the OT stage. This year, we have a one-off public performance for audiences of all ages to enjoy.

Our public performance of Julius Caesar is on 22 June (11am). An ideal introduction to Shakespeare for children age 6+.
