Conversations In Tusculum

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. 

CONVERSATIONS IN TUSCULUM was rehearsed and performed under wartime conditions in Kyiv, Ukraine, in May 2024. Sixteen years after the play’s world premiere production at The Public Theater in 2008, the play returns to The Public with a special free screening of the Theater on Podil production, performed in Ukrainian with English subtitles.
