Julius Caesar

In ancient Rome, political intrigue and betrayal simmer beneath the surface as Julius Caesar rises to power. Despite warnings of impending danger, Caesar dismisses concerns about his fate and proceeds with plans for his triumphal entry into Rome. Meanwhile, a group of conspirators, led by Brutus and Cassius, conspire to assassinate Caesar, fearing his ambition threatens the stability of the Republic. As the plot unfolds, tensions mount, friendships are tested, and loyalties are questioned. The assassination sets off a chain of events that plunges Rome into chaos, culminating in a civil war and the demise of the conspirators themselves. Julius Caesar is one of Shakespeare’s renowned tragedies. Its iconic characters and memorable speeches, including »Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears,« have become ingrained in popular culture and are frequently referenced in politics, literature, and beyond, proving its relevance even today.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE [1564-1616], born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England, is known as the greatest playwright of all time, with his name attached to a long line of immortal plays, including Othello, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth.
