Suitability Suggestions
At the center of Julius Caesar is a mass stabbing death, which will be portrayed in a fairly realistic manner. As the production progresses, the violence, which includes crowd brutality, several suicides, and battles, will become more stylized.

School Suggestions: Julius Caesar may be best experienced by well-prepared middle and high school students.
