ACTORS from the York Shakespeare Project are planning to perform a light-hearted play in York city centre as part of this weekend's Eboracum Roman Festival.

The 20-minute playlet, loosely based on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, has been written specially for the occasion. It will be performed in St Sampson's Square both this evening during York's late night shopping, at 6.45 pm and 7.30, and on Saturday afternoon, at 2.30pm and 4pm.
