A riveting work about power―and the abuse of power―in ancient Rome that has startling resonance with our age, Conversations in Tusculum reimagines the intense interaction among Brutus, Cassius, and Cicero leading up to the assassination of Julius Caesar, the leader they had once followed into battle but whom they have come to despise. Passionate in their beliefs but torn by their sense of loyalty, they struggle to continue believing in him despite their fear that his actions may pose great dangers to the nation. The play is written and directed by Richard Nelson, and is presented in partnership with The Public Theater as part of The Cooper Union’s Gardiner Foundation Great Hall Forum. Casting to be announced soon.
