with the Valley Shakespeare Festival
Produced by Valley Shakespeare Festival and directed by Executive Producer Tom Simonetti, this 2026 production of Julius Caesar reframes the classic tragedy as a sharply focused contemporary political thriller. The VSF2U Professional Mobile Tour pairs a streamlined 60‑minute adaptation with rigorous professional performance, demonstrating that Shakespeare’s most urgent stories require neither excess duration nor spectacle—only clarity, craft, and an audience ready to engage. We are delighted to have the Valley Shakespeare Festival return to the Plumb Library with high-energy, modern take on Shakespeare’s political thriller, Julius Caesar.
We thank the Library Board for their support of this program.
