Caesar & CleopatrA
April 2026 at Washington Stage Guild. Directed by Bill Largess. Written by George Bernard Shaw.
Featuring Craig Wallace, Hannah Taylor, Laura Gianarelli, Ryan Michael Nealy, Chris Stinson, and Matty Griffiths.
Under the Egyptian moon, the aging Julius Caesar meets teenage Cleopatra by chance one night. With turmoil afoot as Cleopatra and her younger brother vie for the throne, Caesar helps the young queen grow into a great ruler favoring wisdom, honor, and clemency. With the palace under siege by insurgents, Caesar might not be able to keep the country together or even escape alive — let alone manage the headstrong Cleopatra.
"Costume Designer Elizabeth Morton gives a class on how to dress a theatre company as if they had a million bucks for costumes alone."
"Costume designer Elizabeth Morton fashions a developing look for Cleopatra that mirrors her personal evolution with more and more opulent costumes, stronger makeup, and layers of jewelry for Act II."
"The progression of her character arc is evident in Elizabeth Morton’s costume design, with each stage of Cleopatra’s growth represented by her increasingly elaborate, regal, and quite lovely outfits."
