Sesar
Playwright / Performer | Directed by Richard Feldman
About the Production
After watching an excerpt of Julius Caesar on television, a 14-year Filipino boy locks himself in the only family bathroom to dive head-first into the world of ancient Rome, determined to make sense of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. The boy’s father, a former town mayor now exiled because of his democratic beliefs, joins his son in the bathroom. Using his own political experience, a father helps his son understand Caesar’s story, and real-life lessons about power, life, and loss.
Sesar was commissioned by Ma-Yi Theater Company and was developed in part during Mr. Pabotoy’s Fox Foundation Actor Fellowship at Ma-Yi Theater Company.
