\"It's a very powerful piece indeed.\"--\"The Stage\"
The latest installment in Tim Crouch's acclaimed family-friendly series of William Shakespeare plays explored through the eyes of minor characters. Here, it's \"Julius Caesar \"from the perspective of a lowly poet, a man who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the wrong name, while history thunders past.

I, Cinna (The Poet) has one short scene in Shakespeares Julius Caesar where he is mistaken for someone else and killed by the mob. Now, in a new play by Tim Crouch, this unlucky man is given a chance to tell his story. Written for ages 11+, I, Cinna (The Poet) is a fusion of theatre, multimedia and creative writing tasks.

Cinna asks his young audience to consider the relationship between words and actions, art and politics, self and society. During the performance he asks us to write alongside him: a small poem on a big theme.

Originally commissioned for the World Shakespeare Festival which is produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company for London 2012 Festival.
