Inspired by images of the G20 and NATO summits, this production sees Shakespeare's political thriller brought to life against a backdrop of modern-day international relations and global current affairs.
Ambition, power, and greed collide as the leaders of the R.O.M.E. 7 countries gather for a summit. It's time for them to decide who their allies really are. Trouble brews as the weather grows disturbingly ominous, and plots to assassinate the ever-ambitious Caesar are hatched. Are Caesar's conspirators truly doing a righteous deed? Or is chaos and defeat inevitable?
