Walking Shadow Theatre
Caligula

by Albert Camus, translated by David Greig
TRANSLATED BY DAVID GREIG

February 13 - 28, 2009
Regional Premiere

All powerful. Flawlessly logical. Barking mad.

A young and heartbroken Roman Emperor holds dominion over the known world. Using vicious logic and deliberate cruelty, he tests the limits of absolute power. Has he really found the impossible: the meaning of life? This play by renowned French philosopher and Nobel winner Albert Camus is given a lush new translation by British playwright David Greig.
