The Royal Shakespeare Company and KPPL Productions have released new production images of Phyllida Lloyd’s acclaimed all-female production of Julius Caesar as it arrives at The Other Place in Stratford-upon-Avon.
The sold-out run at The Other Place marks the culmination of a five-week schools tour that brought the production to Peterborough, Newquay, Bradford, Nottingham and Blackpool, where it was performed to more than 3,500 young people.
Led by Olivier Award-winning actor Dame Harriet Walter as Brutus, the production forms part of the RSC’s First Encounters with Shakespeare programme, which creates specially adapted 90-minute versions of Shakespeare’s plays for younger audiences and first-time theatre-goers.
Walter is joined by original company members Jackie Clune as Julius Caesar, Leah Harvey as Mark Antony, Jennifer Joseph as Trebonius, Jenny Jules as Cassius and Carolina Valdés as Casca.
The company also includes Kosar Ali, Shona Babayemi, Darcy Dixon, Shalisha James-Davis and Siân Stephens.
Directed by Phyllida Lloyd, the production features set and costume design by Bunny Christie, lighting design by Zeynep Kepekli, sound design by Pete Malkin, movement direction by Carolina Valdés and fight direction by Kate Waters.
Alongside performances, audiences attending the Stratford run will be invited to take part in a series of post-show discussions exploring themes raised by the production, including political leadership, women in the criminal justice system, education, youth influence and the role of the arts in society.
Julius Caesar plays at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, until 28 November 2026.
