Mercury Theatre on the Air s
Julius Caeser: Rehearsal
September 11, 1938
Produced, directed, scripted by Orson Welles
starring Orson Welles
Julius Caeser The rehearsal: these typically run slightly longer than the broadcast version as it is uncut.Check out the Julius Caesar rehearsal for a behind-the-scenes look at Orson Welle's personality as a director.The 11 September 1938 broadcast of Julius Caesar is remarkable for several reason. To begin with, it offered an alternative to the not always inspired programming of the commerce and common denominator oriented networks. And not only was the radio-readied production an ingenious exercise in adaptation, but an poignant and timely commentary on the crisis in Europe that was about to plunge the world into war.
Running Time 66 minutes
