'Five acts. Five writers. One hot-take on Shakespeare you didn’t see coming.
'No one escapes scrutiny as La Boite’s revitalised CAESAR trained the spotlight on itself in a sharp and playful production with a scorching modern script.
'Shakespeare’s iconic thriller is pulled apart and reassembled with wicked humour, irreverence and passion as five fierce non-binary and female-identifying playwrights cleverly clap-back at power, politics and the patriarchy.
'Presented with the bite of a satire, CAESAR delivers the laughs and gasps in equal measure.
'This new work featured a powerful cast of Queensland actors including Chenoa Deemal, Billy Fogarty, Giema Contini, Bryan Probets and Will Carseldine.
'If you like sharp comedy, edgy politics and sassy Shakespeare, this sizzling take on CAESAR is sure to slay. #spoileralert'
