Théâtre de Verdure, Jardin Shakespeare How to get there

Hidden in the Bois de Boulogne, in the Pré Catalan garden, the Théâtre de Verdure du Jardin Shakespeare is one of the most beautiful open-air theatre in the world. The audience sits on a large lawn around which are planted the flowers, trees and plants which are mentioned in five of Shakespeare's plays. Since 1992 the Tower Theatre Company has performed Shakespeare during the first week of June in this delightful setting.

Rome is a dangerous place. The leading families vie for power while, in the background, the restless mob presents a constant threat. The omens are all bad and regime change seems the only option, but the consequences are terrible. The conspirators succeed in their plot against Caesar only to precipitate a bloody civil war that destroys them all. Julius Caesar is a fascinating study of the politics of any age. The subtle interplay of ambition, honour, love and self-interest is topped off with a masterclass in spin and the manipulation of public opinion.

The play is presented in English with French sub-titles. The performances at noon on Tuesday 1st June and Thursday 3rd June are aimed particularly at students and school parties.
