Update on "Julius Caesar"
Yes, apparently the entire play was supposed to have taken place in the dreams of Brutus's slave boy, Lucius. I now know this because, when organizing my recycling, I found a program insert written by the director explaining that fact.
If your major directorial choice requires a program insert to explain it to the audience, perhaps--just perhaps--it was not that good a choice.
From the insert: "Life and death happen, events unfold to their very end [and then disco!--Robin] and this is the underside of the world where the dead are replaying their lives though the dreams of a deaf-mute child." A deaf-mute child who can lipread without seeing your face and has a spoken line, but hey, who's counting.
