Petty. Adjective. Of little importance.
Petty Men is a radical reworking of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Set in a dressing room, two understudies attempt to out-perform the show relay. But as worlds collide and reality warps, can they hold on to themselves?
How far would you go to achieve your ambitions?
Created by John Chisham, Júlia Levai and Adam Goodbody. This production is dedicated to the memory of Buzz Goodbody.
All performances are captioned.
