JULIUS CAESAR
A gripping drama of idealism and hope in desperate times. As Julius Caesar consolidates his power, Brutus and Cassius distrust his ambition and lead a group of senators to topple Rome’s “one, only man”. In a Rome on the brink of revolution, this young band of radicals is tested as they fight for a better future for their once-great nation.

“What means this shouting? I do fear, the people choose Caesar for their King..."
A populist dictator is on the rise. The people love him; his detractors are put to silence. When two of his closest allies hatch a plot to overthrow Rome's "one, only man", the people of Rome must choose between a would-be King and those that betrayed him in the name of common liberties. Their choices will shape the course of history.
A thrilling tale of secret intrigue, epic battles, and deep friendship in an empire teetering on the brink of oblivion.
Unexpectedly hopeful, searingly heartfelt, Julius Caesar is one of Shakespeare's finest dramatic achievements.
