The refining of the cast to six elemental characters is a deliberate policy of the company. Such a cast allows a more intimate and ritualistic production to unfold.

The religion of the world of Julius Caesar is the core theme of the production.

The action of Julius Caesar opens on the day of the Lupercalia, a ritual whereby goats and dogs were sacrificed to purify the city.

Religion also appears in the form of the Soothsayer, the supernatural storm, the dream of Calpurnia and the sacrifice of the Augurers.

These themes of sacrifice and purification are the cornerstones of the company’s production.

Understand the death of Julius Caesar: he is the dying god: Dionysus become Zagreus. There will be no political angle/dimension/concept to the play – no fascist undertones, no tyrannical threats. The production will follow a theme far more important than mere politics: the sacrifice of Caesar by the Conspirators, and its vile corruption of the world.

Tragedy can only begin after desecration: the murder of Caesar is an act of desecration. Nature howls against the conspirators when they plot Caesar’s death: the dead walk again and the sky rains blood. The death of Caesar is the profane act, the violation of harmony, whereby nature is wounded until healed only by the death of those who took Caesar’s life. Blood shall wash away blood.

The appearance of Caesar’s ghost to Brutus screams for a supernatural interpretation of the play. Also, in the work of Shakespeare, only ghosts of the innocent appear – such as Hamlet’s father, Banquo and Richard III's victims.
