Spartacus in Starbucks

 

 

Improv Everywhere was formed in New York City, in 2001, by Charlie Todd (PeekYou profile here). From the very beginning, they’ve delivered on their slogan “We Cause Scenes,” staging elaborate pranks and theatrical incidents, in a vast array of public spaces.

In the clip embedded above, which is currently one of the most popular on YouTube, the most iconic scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 1960 feature Spartacus is recreated in the least likely of locales.
