In the ground-breaking Roman Tragedies, Coriolanus, Julius Caesar and Antony And Cleopatra are edited and performed consecutively in a lucid and dramatic multi-media spectacular, which engages the senses in a performance that will keep audiences talking well after they leave the theatre.

Urgently exploring issues of power, personal ambition and national interest, this epic performance is augmented through the use of film and live television screens which can be viewed from all angles.

Roman Tragedies is a gripping six-hour spectacle in which the audience is invited to view the action close up, moving between the auditorium and the stage.

Roman Tragedies, performed by Dutch company Toneelgroep Amsterdam, premiered in Amsterdam in 2007 and was restaged following its highly acclaimed performances at the 2008 Avignon Festival.

Toneelgroep Amsterdam is one of Holland’s leading theatre companies and was lauded during its last visit to the UK in 1998 with Harold Pinter’s Ashes To Ashes at Riverside Studios.

Roman Tragedies  is performed in Dutch with English surtitles. It contains strobe lighting and is suitable for theatregoers aged 16 and older.
