'Caesar' In The Park

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 1, 2017

Oskar Eustis, The Public Theater’s artistic director, joins us to discuss directing the free Shakespeare in the Park production of “Julius Caesar.” He’ll be joined by actress Elizabeth Marvel, who plays Marc Antony. Last performed in the park 17 years ago, the play tells the story of a charismatic Roman leader and the small band of officials who fear he is becoming too powerful.

The Public Theater's "Julius Caesar" runs through Sunday, June 18 at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. 

Note: Jonathan Capehart guest-hosted this segment of "The Leonard Lopate Show."
