7 roles
An ambitious, visionary leader whose rapid rise to power threatens the traditional (masculine) political order. She commands respect but faces intense scrutiny for leading with authority in a space dominated by men. Her strength is interpreted as arrogance, her decisiveness as tyranny. Looking for an actor who can balance regal presence with complex vulnerability.
A respected senator and philosopher. Torn between personal loyalty to Caesar and his sense of duty to the Republic. His betrayal is fueled by fear—not just of tyranny, but of what female leadership means for the future of power. Seeking an actor who can grapple with layered motivations and internal conflict.
The manipulative architect of the conspiracy. Driven by envy and disdain for Caesar’s dominance, especially as a woman in power. Cassius appeals to Brutus’s ideals but is ultimately motivated by a desire to reclaim male authority. Looking for a strategic, persuasive presence with sharp intensity.
Caesar’s closest ally. Fierce, charismatic, and politically savvy. After Caesar’s death, Antony becomes the voice of vengeance, loyalty, and feminine rage. Her famous funeral speech is both personal and revolutionary. Seeking an actor with powerful emotional and rhetorical range.
Caesar’s spouse. Protective and emotional, they urge Caesar to stay home on the day of her assassination.
Brutus’s wife. Deeply intelligent and frustrated by her exclusion from her husband’s world. Her breakdown reflects the broader theme of women being silenced or dismissed in spaces of power. Seeking a strong actor who can bring emotional depth to a tragically overlooked voice.
Primarily male, reinforcing the power imbalance and institutional resistance Caesar faces. Select female ensemble roles may represent younger politicians, civilians, or servants observing the collapse from the sidelines. Looking for dynamic performers to create a living world that reflects the weight of systemic structures
