By David Davalos

A struggling poet named Virgil bumps into Julius Caesar and accidentally creates the Roman Empire in this world-premier, comical-historical take on Shakespeare’s tragic history Julius Caesar. Shifting perspective toward peripheral characters, David Davalos’ supernatural fable of sooth and consequence leans into the laughter — after all, the fall and rise of Caesar weren’t exactly a tragedy for every Roman citizen.
