Britannicus on YouTube

We thought you might be interested in the eight minute video we created about our production of Britannicus:

“Robert Woodruff directs his final production as Artistic Director at the American Repertory Theatre, Jean Racine’s Britannicus. A contemporary staging of this 17th-century French play, Britannicus is part political thriller, part gripping family drama, that serves as a mirror to the 21st Century.”

The story also mentions Britanncius. We thought you might be interested:
