What does Shakespeare look like set in a Detroit high school? That's the idea behind “All Hail - A Contemporary Retelling of Julius Ceasar.”

It's the latest production from the Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit, which works with young performers in middle and high school throughout Detroit.

The play opens this weekend at the Detroit Film Theatre and runs through May 18.

WDET's Ryan Patrick Hooper spoke with "All Hail" playwright and director Shavonne Coleman about the production.  

Editor's note: The Mosaic Youth Theater is an underwriter for WDET.
