JULIUS CAESAR

Part of L.A. Theatre Works’ The Play’s the Thing series, this production is a stellar example of the ensemble’s talent. There’s a perfect balance between human voice and background music/sound effects. The all-American cast provides a fresh and equally professional approach to this classic, which is typically performed by British actors. In addition, the production quality is excellent; the depth of the “stage” seems apparent as audiences hear actors at different volume levels, which helps to suggest their proximity to the main character in each scene. Overall, JULIUS CAESAR is a wonderful addition to any audio theater library. R.A.P. SYNC 2014 ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 98]
