Take Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and sent it through a gritty, modern crime lens and what you get is this summer's teen production from Carousel Theatre.
Burnaby teen Isaac Li, 15, will be on stage with the production in his first time out with Carousel.
The Teen Shakespeare program at Carousel is celebrating its 21st year by tackling the famous play with a modern mob-family drama spin.
Teen actors aged 13 to 18 from across B.C. are taking part in the production, playing on the Performance Works outdoor stage on Granville Island.
The show will run July 29 to Aug. 13, with a preview show on July 28 at 7:30 p.m. and July 29 at 2 p.m. All other shows Monday to Saturday run at 7:30 p.m. with matinees on Aug. 1, Aug. 6, and Aug. 13 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are free, but advance reservations can be made at $5 per seat. Call 604-685-6217 or see www.carouseltheatre.ca for more info.
