Loomis Acting Studio, Room 177
The Bard's most riveting history takes the stage at BW!
Political intrigue, murder and war seize Rome in a stranglehold, showing that not even a great Empire is above the base instincts of ambition, politics and guilt.
Shakespeare's poetic and poignant re-telling of this historical event raises the same questions now as it did in 1599. As Brutus, Cassius and their co-conspirators plot to dethrone Julius Caesar, we have to ask ourselves: How must dictators be handled? | Get Tickets |

| | THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
by Oscar Wilde
Directed by René Copeland
Wednesday-Saturday, April 19-22, 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, April 23, 2:00 p.m.
Mainstage Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama
The Importance of Being Earnest, a satirical comedy of manners, is one of Oscar Wilde's most popular plays, and for good reason. The characters are ridiculous, the plot is full of misunderstandings and mistaken identities, and through it all Algernon and Jack try to find true love while shooting barbs at the pompous and rigid Victorian society in which they find themselves. Written by a man who initially made a name for himself merely for being outrageously witty, the language of the play is a delightful, hilarious confection with unxpected turns. But as Miss Prism says, "The good end happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means." | Get Tickets |
