PETTY MAN

About the show

Petty. Adjective. Of little importance. Petty Men is a radical reworking of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Set in a dressing room, two understudies attempt to out-perform the show relay. But as worlds collide and reality warps, can they hold on to themselves? How far would you go to achieve your ambitions? Written by John Chisham, Júlia Levai and Adam Goodbody. This production is dedicated to the memory of Buzz Goodbody. All performances are captioned. Best seating for captions can be found in the central seating bank. 26th November – Gala Night ‘A Celebration of Buzz’ – post show panel event hosted by Professor Emma Smith exploring the life and work of Buzz Goodbody, the first female director at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Panelists will include Tamara Harvey (Co-Artistic Director, RSC) and Trevor Nunn (Artistic Director, RSC – 1968-1986). Ticket price will include the show, followed by the exclusive post show panel event in Arcola Bar.
