Shakespeare Theatre in the Park:

Shakespeare in the Park makes its highly-anticipated return on 4 May 2018 with Julius Caesar. Directed by Guy Unsworth, this production sees Shakespeare’s political thriller brought to life against a backdrop of modern-day international relations and global current affairs. Ambition, power, and greed collide as the leaders of the R.O.M.E 7 countries gather for a summit. Trouble brews as plots to assassinate the ever-ambitious Caesar are hatched. Are Caesar’s conspirators truly doing a righteous deed? Or is chaos and defeat inevitable?

As a supporter of the Singapore Repertory Theatre, the Nexus community is being offered a special 15% discount for the Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar. We are aiming for a strong sign-up for 4 May show, and we are currently speaking to the SRT in order to be allocated an exclusive area for Nexus parents and faculty.
