“Julius Caesar feels like a play for today, it’s all about leadership and violence and manipulation and it feels like this sort of thing is happening more in governments across the world,” he said.
Mr Evans expects the audience in particular to pick up on the play’s themes.
“Orange crowds are really warm but also really curious and knowledgeable, when they come backstage to meet the cast they’re always full of questions and ready to talk to the actors and engage about the about the play,” he said.
