Alumni Shakespeare Workshop: “Julius Caesar” 1340 Macgowan Hall | UCLA We’ll take a deep dive into Shakespearean text, character and relationship through exploration of “Julius Caesar” 4.3. We’ll look at both psychological and formal approaches and the connections between them in one of the most deftly-constructed scenes in the canon. Participants who wish to work on the scene will be asked to learn the role of either Brutus or Cassius thoroughly; those who wish only to observe are very welcome to do so. Please note:
