Julius Caesar March 7, 2008

One of the greatest theatrical studies of tyranny, revolution and civil war, 'Julius Caesar' is also a highly personal play -- a breathless, gripping portrayal of friendships and alliances torn apart by political ambition and the intoxicating effects of power. Centered around three of Shakespeare's most vivid characters -- Caesar, Brutus and the young Mark Antony -- the play contrasts a vast historical canvas with the private fears and dreams of men whose words can change the world.
