The man behind the myth

This article focuses on Gordon Reinhart, who is guest director of "Julius Caesar" at WSU's Hilberry Theatre. He says he wanted the play to be more complicated and ambiguous than traditional depictions of the Roman emperor. Jeff Thomakos who plays the lead, says he and Reinhart agreed to portray Caesar as "sort of a man of the people." The production uses costumes and props that mix elements of the modern world with elements of ancient Rome . The show runs in rotating repertory until Dec. 17.
