Conversations in Tusculum

A staged play about power and its abuse in ancient Rome, reimagining the encounters among Brutus, Cassius, and Cicero before the assassination of Julius Caesar. It is written and directed by Richard Nelson and presented with The Public Theater as part of The Cooper Union's Gardiner Foundation Great Hall Forum. The characters, torn between loyalty and fear, struggle to keep faith in a leader they have come to despise. The free event is first-come, first-served and registration is required.
