brief
Julius Caesar was produced in Evanston as a part of the 2019–2020 Main-Stage Season. The design concept for this production highlighted the richness of textual performance by emphasizing subtle design choices. The set, lights, and costumes all served to emphasize, rather than overpower, the work done by performers.
