Julius Caesar
Bowler Crab Theatre Company
Shakespeare’s gritty tragedy portrays the assassination of one of the most influential individuals in history
Caesar’s closest friends prove enemies when a prolific murder is plotted to emancipate Rome from his divine dictatorship. Blood is spilt in the name of gold, freedom and progress but can the liberators survive the aftermath of their deed when faced with civil war? Bowler Crab’s 35th production bloodies its swords in September 2025.
Based in East Sussex, Bowler Crab are a small independent theatre company that specialise in Shakespearean performances. With frequent haunts around the 1066 area, Bowler Crab produces UK tours as well as repertoire performances for hire. To date the company has produced over 32 Shakespeare tours.
Founded in 2013 by Artistic Director Stephen John, the company goal is to complete the Shakespearean canon across a fifty year plan. Bowler Crab is the resident theatre company of both Half House Farm (C16th performance venue in Three Oaks, Hastings) and The Mermaid Inn (600-year-old-inn situated in Rye).
