How can anyone not love the lean and hungry Cassius? He's so damned quotable: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings..." Damn right! Words to live by!
The great thing about seeing Shakespeare performed by talented people is that the emotions act as translators to a language that most people have trouble understanding all at once or on paper. Watching this, I find myself continually amazed by his uncanny ability to highlight human nature in such a way that it’s always relevant and relatable because his characters are similarly layered. I may not have been around at the same time as Julius Caesar, but I can watch this scene and understand that sometimes people who do bad things aren’t wholly bad people or people who started out with evil intentions.
Incredible performance! He delivers Cassius's lines with such natural eloquence and rhythm that it's waaaay easier to follow along and actually understand the meaning and of the words, where the emphasis is, where the EMOTION is. Shakespeare is of course notoriously dense but this is clear to a casual listener. Again, super impressed!
Ahhh! Cassius on cocaine!…slow down man! DidIevertellyouthestoryofWhenCaesarwantedtoraceacrosstheRiver???No??Great!!!heresWhatHappened!!HeWasTotallyDrowning.WaitwhatwasIjusttalkingabout!???
A deliberate choice, no doubt intended to echo how productions might have looked in Shakespeare's day. It helps that the text of the play refers to Elizabethan garments rather than Roman ones.

The costume designer muddled things up.

@@emhu2594 This is a current production.

@@emhu2594I'd much rather see something beautiful like this than Generic Regietheater Production With Ugly Modern Uniforms No. 276
I’d hate to tell you, but this what they wore to perform the show in the 1600s
