Richard Nelson's Conversations in Tusculum opened Off-Broadway March 11 at The Public Theater. Brian Dennehy and Aidan Quinn star in the work.

The world-premiere drama, centering on the world of Julius Caesar, also features David Strathairn, Maria Tucci, Joe Grifasi and Gloria Reuben. Nelson directs at the Anspacher Theater.

"The country you love and the values it represents are being destroyed by a misguided leader," read show notes. "You can continue to live in relative comfort by not involving yourself, or you can take action to save the democracy you love."

Here are some photos from the opening-night party held at New York City's Union Square Ballroom:
