Watch Oddsocks Productions of Julius Caesar this June

Tuesday, 30 April 2024 13:42

Watch the hilarious take on Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Spend a lovely summer’s day at the Castle Grounds Book tickets for the whole family now.

Tamworth Borough Council are inviting families to enjoy Oddsocks Productions take on the classic William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar on 9 June 2024 at 5.30pm.

Set in Rome 44BC, Egotistical Emperor Julius Caesar is sweating (and it’s not just the heatwave). His liberal Senators are a stabbing pain in the backside. They’ve had enough! Rome is in chaos, trust in the government is weak and the emperor’s fate is written in the stars (or the ‘entrails of a goat’).

The peasants are revolting as the most famous political coup in literature is given the Oddsocks treatment. Expect the tearing of togas, the swishing of roman swords, some preposterous puppetry and the biggest battle scene five actors have ever created.

This all age fun performance is priced at £12 for adults, £10 for children, or a family ticket for £37.50.

Stephen Gabriel, Chief Executive of Tamworth Borough Council said: “Julius Caesar is the first of our four outdoor theatre performances this summer, and what a great show to kick off our programme of outdoor productions.

“This show is packed with entertainment for all the family and is a perfect way to spend a summer’s evening in the beautiful Castle Grounds.”
