The Teatre de l’Aurora in Igualada is staging Un tal Cèsar, a comedy by Marcel Tomàs, as part of the 2026 Festa Major. The play runs for three nights starting today, with performances at 9 p.m. each evening. Tickets are priced at €14 and remain available for purchase, despite high demand.
Written and directed by Tomàs, who also stars alongside Toni Escribano, the play centres on a confrontation between an archaeologist and a worker at a tourist development site. This clash sparks a humorous time-travel journey to ancient Rome, where Tomàs portrays Julius Caesar in a parade of historical figures including Cleopatra, Mark Antony, and Asterix. The production lasts one hour and 20 minutes.
Un tal Cèsar completes a comedic historical trilogy by Tomàs and Cascai Teatre, following earlier works Un tal Shakespeare and Un tal Quixot. The company has previously toured productions across Catalonia, including performances in Girona, Seva, and Madrid in February 2026, as listed in the ciatre.com programme.

The festive theatre programme continues on Saturday, 22 August, at the Teatre Municipal l’Ateneu with a comedic reinterpretation of Hamlet by Albert Pla and Peyu. The performance, scheduled for 8.30 p.m., reimagines the Shakespearean tragedy as a story set in a hospital, exploring themes of public and private healthcare, love, and envy through satire. The production is directed by Joan Roura, with a script co-written by Pla and Peyu.
