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. On your marcus, getus setus, let the games begin!
Suitable for all from 7-107!
ABOUT ODDSOCKS
“Hugely funny” (The Stage) company are on the road with their “energetic, downright silly, utterly professional and totally inventive theatre” (East Midlands Theatre Review).
“Outrageously funny, a joy, with neatly-engineered slapstick” NOTTINGHAM POST
"Oddsocks excels in an entertaining show which succeeds as both farce and a perfect introduction to Shakespeare." THE STAGE ★★★★
