The Brutes

Casey Wimpee’s wild and gripping drama, The Brutes, takes you backstage of an historic performance of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar featuring the renowned theatrical Booth family – brothers Edwin, Junius Jr. and John Wilkes Booth. This was the first and only time that the three brothers shared a stage together. The backstage drama becomes the focus of this portrait of their tempestuous relationship fraught with political conflict ending in an American tragedy.

This extremely limited special performance has only two performances, on the Eve of April’s Ides – April 13th and 14th at 7PM in the historic dining room at The Players, founded by Edwin Booth himself.

Called “irresistibly dramatic” by The New York Times.
