More Information About Britannicus
Description
American Repertory Theatre (A.R.T.) presents Jean Racine’s powerful drama Britannicus in a translation by C.H. Sisson.
Operatic in its passions, Britannicus is a tautly plotted masterpiece that documents the beginning of the decline of the Roman Empire. The young emperor Nero is running wild, leaving a mass of political and personal scandals in his wake. He decides to shed his wife Octavia and instead marry Junia, the beloved of his half-brother Britannicus. Nero’s mother, the mighty Agrippina, steps in to prevent him, and chaos and tragedy ensue.
Directed by Robert Woodruff, Britannicus stars returning A.R.T. actors Joan McIntosh, David Wilson Barnes, and Adrianne Krstansky; Alfredo Narciso, Kevin O’Donnell, and John Sierros; and A.R.T. Institute actor Merritt Janson.
