About the show

Fearful that Caesar will become a tyrant, his friends plot to assassinate him in order to save Rome. But the conspirators' high principles clash with personal malice and ambition, and as they vie to manipulate the mob, the nation is plunged into civil war.

Sophie Drake is an award-winning theatre director and dramaturg based in London. She has worked on large-scale productions in the West End and on Broadway with actors including Ian McKellen, Penelope Wilton, and Tom Hollander. She is the winner of the 2024 Stage Debut Award for Best Director and was a member of the 2024 National Theatre Directors Course cohort. Sophie was the runner-up for the 2025 RTST Sir Peter Hall Award.

Sophie’s production of Angus Cerini’s multi-award-winning play The Bleeding Tree, starring Mariah Gale, Elizabeth Dulau, and Alexandra Jensen, ran at Southwark Playhouse. The production won the 2024 Stage Debut Award for Best Director and received outstanding reviews alongside five Off-West End Award nominations, including Best Director.

Her recent production of Charley’s Aunt, adapted by Rob Madge, opened at the Watermill Theatre to fantastic reviews.

Most recently, Sophie was revival director on the RSC production of Rupert Goold’s Hamlet, which is currently touring the UK. She also directed the world premiere of Daisy Goodwin’s Victoria: A Queen Unbound, running at the Watermill Theatre until 9 May

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
