WHAT’S PAST IS PROLOGUE: Plays That Grapple with the Future

Conversations in Tusculum

November 09, 2026

Venue Great Hall (Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street)

Written and Directed by Richard Nelson

A riveting work about power―and the abuse of power―in ancient Rome that has startling resonance with our age, CONVERSATIONS IN TUSCULUM reimagines the intense interaction among Brutus, Cassius, and Cicero leading up to the assassination of Julius Caesar, the leader they had once followed into battle but whom they have come to despise. Passionate in their beliefs but torn by their sense of loyalty, they struggle to continue believing in him despite their fear that his actions may pose great dangers to the nation. 

Casting to be announced soon.
