New York Classical Theatre is proud to announce our 2026 summer production: The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, directed by Founding Artistic Director Stephen Burdman. Performances begin June 2! “This play is a powerful examination of leadership, loyalty, and the consequences of political violence on a republic,” says Burdman. “Of all of Shakespeare’s plays, this one speaks most clearly to the moment we are in. It’s a play for now.” For more information, click the link in our bio! #EtTuBrute #CaesarinNYC #NYClassical #NewYorkCity #Theatre
