The production is riveting. Fast paced, lines clearly stated, actions exciting, and acting well-textured. This is Shakespeare staging and performance at its finest. It’s a must see for anyone who enjoys good theater. Kudos to Sara Bruner and her fine cast and technical staff!

After all, the concept of cross-dressing -- females playing males and vice versa -- is as old as Shakespeare itself. So when cross-gender casting is done well, as in this case, the work looks as new and fresh as ever.

You
have not really experienced live
theater
until you have witnessed one of Shakespeare’s greatest works done
exceptionally well by a most professional of theater groups. Have no
fear of being able to decipher the Middle English tongue. This
production is done in the most easily understood manner. This is
great theater and should not be missed.

Sarah Bruner, director of Julius Caesar now at Great Lakes Theater, brings grim reality (and a bit of modernity) to Shakespeare’s classic tale about politics, changing rulers, and trusting sycophants.
Andrea Simakis
In Bruner’s “Julius Caesar,” a woman in power is normalized; it’s factual, not freakish. That’s as much a tribute to Bruner’s direction as it is to Healey’s majestic performance. Her voice is commanding. She strides with purpose. She fills space with her presence, at ease with being the sun around which everything revolves.
