For the uninitiated,
Imperium might well seem like a big ask - 2 parts, each of which consist of 3 plays, making it a grab for the kind of event theatre that attracts headlines. Conspirator follows Cicero as he is elected consul by the Roman people and how Caitline, his rival, refuses to accept the results. In Dictator, Cicero has retired from politics and when Julius Caesar is assassinated, he tries to stop Mark Antony from creating a dictatorship.
Imperium Part I: Conspirator and Imperium Part II: Dictator will run at the Swan Theatre from 16th November to 10th February.
