Six Blackpool folk will perform as a community chorus alongside the Royal Shakespeare Company in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar at Blackpool Grand May 16–20.
The group includes a local librarian, a teacher, a youth worker and an attraction manager who will appear alongside the show’s professional acting company as part of the RSC’s continuing commitment to make theatre and Shakespeare accessible to all.
This production is directed by Atri Banerjee.
The chorus—Emma Rucastle, Zoe Lamond, Beth Montgomery, Tori Pollett, Cy Karoonian and Hannah Dial—represent identities that have been marginalised, and will be integrated into various musical elements of the production.
