Cicero, the greatest orator of his age, devotes all his energy and
cunning to preserve the rule of law, and defend Rome’s Republic
against the predatory attacks of political rivals, discontented
aristocrats, and would-be military dictators. Imperium is a
backstage view of Ancient Rome at its most bloody and brutal, told
through the eyes of Tiro, Cicero’s loyal secretary. Adapted by
Mike Poulton from Robert Harris’s bestselling The Cicero Trilogy,
it was premiered by the Royal Shakespeare Company in
Stratford-upon-Avon in November 2017 in an epic event comprising
six plays presented in two performances. Mike Poulton is an
award-winning dramatist whose many adaptations include Hilary
Mantel’s Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, The Canterbury Tales
and Morte d’Arthur (all for the Royal Shakespeare Company), A
Tale of Two Cities (Royal & Derngate, Northampton), Luise
Miller (Donmar Warehouse), Don Carlos (Sheffield Crucible/West End)
and Wallenstein (Chichester Festival Theatre).
