Phyllida Lloyd, of Mamma Mia! and The Iron Lady fame, directs an all-female production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar starring Dame Harriet Walter as Brutus at the Donmar Warehouse. Lloyd previously worked at the Donmar in 2005 on a production of Schiller's Mary Stuart, in which Dame Harriet also appeared. The pair had previously teamed up in the original London production of the classic West End musical Mamma Mia!. Shakespeare's classic study of power charts the bloody fall of the Roman emperor Julius Caesar and deals with a terrible trio of conspiracy, assassination and retribution. Notable male performances include Sir John Gielgud take on the role of "the noblest Roman of them all", Denzel Washington portray Brutus and both Charles Heston and Marlon Brando tackle the tormented Antony. Bucking that trend, this intriguing all-female cast includes recent Ian Charleson award winner Cush Jumbo as Mark Anthony, Jenny Jules as Cassius, Jade Anouka as Calpurnia and Frances Barber in the title role. It follows the RSC's novel take on Julius Caesar earlier this summer - an entirely black cast with the action taking place in war-torn Africa. Under a new scheme sponsored by Barclays, a number of front row tickets at the Donmar will be held back and made available close to the performance date for £10 each.
About The Donmar Warehouse
Housed in an impressive red-brick industrial building - at various times a brewery, a banana warehouse and a film studio - this tiny repertory theatre is one of the great success stories of the 1990s. Created as a studio space for the RSC in 1977, it became a shabby but popular fringe theatre in the 1980s, a testing ground for producers with big ideas but little money.
