...A.R.T. until March 16, Nauzyciel modernizes the fight for democracy and political power in ancient Rome by allowing the audience to connect the themes of this 400-year-old play to issues facing our community and country today. Most significantly, Nauzyciel elevates Brutus’ servant Lucius from a small role to the focus of the production, transforming him into a deaf-mute boy who sees the play’s characters, already dead, reenacting their lives in his dreams.

...straight face, “this is how we do shit.” Bringing in ESPN’s real-life tennis analyst, Luke Jensen, to portray Luke Dorkovich, an over-the-hill player who takes Ecstasy to improve his serve, is a deft touch. Jason Issacs (Lucius Malfoy in “Harry Potter”) also provides a fine caricature as the scheming nemesis, whose uses his fame to trick Logue’s Macklin into losing his job.
