The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) and Playful Productions have released brand new production photography for the West End transfer of the acclaimed, historical two-part thriller Imperium – I: Conspirator and II: Dictator, running for a limited engagement at London’s Gielgud Theatre until 8 September 2018.
Robert Harris’ best-selling Cicero trilogy is adapted for the stage by Mike Poulton as six one-act plays, presented in two performances, each with two intervals. Directed by RSC Artistic Director, Gregory Doran, Imperium transferred to London following its recent sold-out run at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Told through the watchful eyes of Cicero’s loyal secretary, Imperium I: Conspirator reveals how the great orator’s early success unwittingly paves the way for a brutal and bloody end to the Republic.
With Rome in chaos at the beginning of Imperium II: Dictator, Cicero must use all his brilliance to restore the power of the Senate from the unruly civic mob and their would-be Emperor: one Julius Caesar.
