The Last Dinner Party 'Caesar On A TV Screen' by Harv Frost

Rob Ulitski - 9th Jan 2024

Harv Frost directs an infectiously fun take on the Bard in this new promo for The Last Dinner Party.

The video for Caesar On A TV Screen exudes a whimsical, theatrical energy, as the band stage Shakespeare's Julius Caesar with gusto and no little melodrama - with lead singer Abigail playing the vainglorious Caesar and her bandmates as the Roman politicos who (mini-spoiler) plot to assassinate him.   

Firmly tongue-in-cheek with a playful, handmade-feel throughout - it's more like a clever school production than a TV adaptation - it indulges the band's evident inclination towards the theatrical. And allows us to speculate on whether the roleplaying reflects how the bandmates really feel about Abigail...

It also marks a confident solo directing outing for Harv Frost following her recent standout collaborations with Dora Paphides, with the previous TLDP video for My Lady Of Mercy, and Chinchilla's Cut You Off.
