Happy Ides of March! This week we have a special double-feature for you to commemorate this very auspicious Shakespearean day!
The Ides of March is the 74th day of the Roman calendar, and traditionally the day Romans would settle their debts.
THE IDES OF MARCH BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH
A podcast about Classics, cocktails, and conscious casting.
We give each of our actors two weeks to prepare a character as if the day of recording is the first table read of a production. Obviously, over the course of a rehearsal process, a character will grow and develop based on a director's vision, the other actors, and discovery in the room. This is just our actor's first take on the character.
In this episode, we will be exploring the character Brutus from Julius Caesar with actors Dawn Sam Alden and Autumn McKinney-Brooks.
