“Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus…
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

It must be by his death”

What do you do when a leader threatens tyranny over the democracy you hold dear? If you believe, deep in your soul, that this man is a threat to liberty and life? Might you be driven to undertake an act of violence, in order to put an end to a despot?

And if you do, say, commit a horrifying act of public murder, what then?

What happens when you open the door to violence?

Bard in the Botanics opens our summer season with a new production of Shakespeare’s electrifying political thriller, as terrifyingly relevant today as it has ever been.
