About the book

William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar dramatises the conspiracy against Rome's most powerful leader and the violence that follows his assassination. Brutus joins the plot in the belief that he is defending the Republic, but loyalty to an ideal does not free him from the consequences of political action. Cassius, Antony and Caesar bring competing ambitions and arguments into conflict. Public speeches become weapons as Shakespeare explores persuasion, honour and the difficulty of controlling events once blood has been shed. The tragedy leaves its audience to judge the uneasy relationship between principle and power.
