From Nov. 2-12, the mirror will be held up to our very own natures as NU presents William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Steven Braddock, director of NU Theatre, asks the questions with his directorial approach: What is the difference between a desire for leadership and a hunger for power? What would happen if drastic measures were taken in order to avoid a perceived shift in political stability?

What will we see in that mirror? And will we be able to live with it?

Julius Caesar will be on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall at 7 p.m. on Nov. 2 and 9, and at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3, 4, 10 and 11, with 2 p.m. matinees on Nov. 4, 5, 11 and 12.
