Published 2023-03-17
For the Ides of March we did a full performance of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar - with a twist! Now in the form of a gloriously truncated highlight reel, you can experience some of the absurdity without blocking out two and a half hours for it!

  • oh my god Caesar speaking only Latin until his one line that is FAMOUSLY IN LATIN could not have been funnier
  • @Religion0
    "Anthony is but a limb of Cesar's." "What is he, an arm or a leg?" "He's a dick." That line was delivered so smoothly I could have sworn it was written. It was also very bad for my health, I'm too sick for this.
  • How Noir can go from dominating the stage speaking FLUENT FUCKING LATIN to (tiny speak) "hi, um i'm noir, here to audition"????? He HAS the range
  • @shinkoryu14
    People riffing on "Who even knows what year Julius Caesar died" to offend Blue is only justice, as the players were plucking Red's math string during the previous play.
  • @clthefrog
    Noir saying "and you, Brutus?" in a Normal American Voice after all that Latin took me out that was so funny
  • I want a version of the full play where Publius speaks only Binary, Cæsar speaks only Latin, and everybody else is localized.
  • @honeyxew469
    Ohmigosh, the “and you, Brutus?” absolutely killed me
  • alt title: The OSP team do continuous d6 mental damage to Blue for 23 minutes
  • My sister suggested: "If they do anthony and cleopatra can cleo play cleopatra?"
  • This version of Julius Ceasar (the person) makes a lot of sense. This actually takes place in modern times. The characters are all English speakers but Ceasar speaks in Latin because it's an ancient language, so he thinks that this would bring him more respect. But when he is stabbed by Brutus, he is heartbroken and can't put up the facade anymore. So he finally speaks in his mother tongue.

    “Whatever period of history this is” Blue: dying inside

    Broke: Believing Shakespeare would be horrified at what has been done to his great work. Woke: Knowing that a man whose work contains not only a plethora of gleeful bathroom humor but also a literal “Your Mother” joke would - assuming he had context to appreciate this - be rolling on the goddamn floor and wanting to high five everyone involved.

    Blue in the Scottish play: grim, dramatic, unbreakable Blue in JC: animated, cracking jokes, having a blast Red in the Scottish play: FULL DRAMA Red in JC: valiant attempt at full drama until Tim starts with the binary Good job everyone, you’re breaking them beautifully 😂😂😂

    1:01 For one moment, let's appreciate now Noir not only said all of Caesar's lines in Latin, but used the pronunciation of Latin as it was in 44BCE? I also love how some of the other OSP-players [esp. Tim] thought Noir was speaking Italian! 😆
  • 23: 09 "The important thing is that they never killed their ruler again." Yep, totally. Definitely not multiple times.
  • I haven't revised my Latin in 2 years but I think Blue's reaction fully conveys my own.
  • Blues face of joy at the accent is precious and priceless and should be protected at all cost. Red Vibing as Tim is just Flowing is such a mood "it's all Greek to me" another great reference. What.... What is Tim doing with the tape measurer? The Binary almost did Red in 😂🤣
  • @Grim_Sister
    Saying your lines is Latin is just brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
  • I say OSP, have you every heard the comedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not, it's not a story Shakespeare would tell you...
  • @Emily-tv1iz
    It's hilarious to me the sheer contrast between Blue's characters in the two plays. MacDuff learned his wife and children were murdered and he straight up said "I can't fight yet. Let me grieve, please." Meanwhile Brutus learns his wife is dead offhandedly and is like "rip lol...anyways!"
