You Too, Brutus, a Woman?

Julius Caesar, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, Donmar Warehouse.  Jenny Jules as Cassius.

Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar is a violent cautionary tale about the abuse of power. Moliere’s The Learned Ladies is a genial satire about social and intellectual pretension. As WNYC’s Sarah Montague reports, each is being interpreted this season in an unusual way: with all women casts.
