Dan Kremer returns to the Shakespeare Theatre Company as the title character in “Julius Caesar,” the role he performed so memorably three seasons ago. To open its 25th Anniversary Season, the company is offering the drama free of charge to the general public through the annual Free For All promotion that enables people to bask in the beauty of Shakespeare’s words and his deep understanding of human nature for free.

“From all accounts, those who have done these free concerts say that those who come are the best audience because they come with enthusiasm and want to be there.” Kremer said. “For that matter, there are no better audiences than in Washington. They always come with a strong background in classics and a great participatory sense. The STC artistic director, Michael Kahn, has nurtured the audience from the beginning.”
