Hytner gives theatregoers the option to view his modern-dress, in-the-round production from a seated vantage point overlooking the action, or to purchase a “mob” ticket and stand on the ground level with the actors as Caesar’s assassination plays out.
The limited run is scheduled through April 15. The production designer is Bunny Christie, with costumes by Christina Cunningham, music by Nick Powell, lighting by Bruno Poet, and sound by Paul Arditti.
The Bridge Theatre, a new theatrical venture from former National Theatre Artistic Director Hytner and his former Executive Director Nick Starr, opened its doors in October.
