Discounted rates for the production of Julius Caesar will be available for school groups when it runs at the new Bridge Theatre in London next January.
The new theatre, located on the Thames river by Tower Bridge and City Hall, will open on 26th October with a new comedy called Young Marx by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman, with Rory Kinnear in the title role.
This will be followed in January by Julius Caesar, staged in promenade by Nicholas Hytner, with Ben Whishaw as Brutus.
