Description
Power, corruption and betrayal drive Shakespeare’s historical and political drama. As Julius Caesar moves closer to securing power and is perceived by some as a threat to the Roman people, his senators plot his downfall. Caesar’s assassination brings civil war rather than peace, and the play follows the subsequent deaths of the conspirators Brutus and Cassius. Shakespeare uses the transition from republican to imperial Rome to reflect the political circumstances of the Elizabethan period. With some of the most powerful and memorable speeches in his plays, Julius Caesar remains one of Shakespeare’s best-known historical tragedies.
