Casting announced for Julius Caesar at Shakespeare's Globe

Theatre: Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare&#8217;s Globe, London
Booking dates: 6 November 2026 – 14 February 2027

Kate Duchêne, Caoilfhionn Dunne, Adam Gillen and Natey Jones will star in Julius Caesar at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, which is running from 6 November 2026 to 14 February 2027.

Kate Duchêne (Afterlife), Caoilfhionn Dunne (Andor), Adam Gillen (Cabaret) and Natey Jones (Tina – The Tina Turner Musical) have been cast in Julius Caesar, running from 6 November 2026 to 14 February 2027 at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

Julius Caesar, directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins, will see Duchêne play Julius Caesar/Soothsayer/Octavius Caesar, Dunne as Brutus, Gillen as Mark Antony, and Jones as Cassius.

The production condenses Shakespeare’s sprawling political tragedy down to a cast of four also promises a sharper, more concentrated take on the story’s themes of betrayal and power, continuing Hill-Gibbins’ track record of inventive stagings at the venue following his acclaimed Ghosts. It promises to be an intimate and candlelit show.

Hill-Gibbins said: “I’m so excited to bring this timely story, performed by a company of four incredible actors, to audiences in the Wanamaker this winter. Reviving a classic play in front of a contemporary audience creates a kind of time machine, which allows us to pull the past into the present and for our present to inhabit the past.”
