Julius Caesar, 2025
“It must be by his death…”
Julius Caesar has become a tyrant.
A conspiracy is launched against him by some of his closest friends. When Cassius and Brutus murder Caesar in full public view on the Ides of March, they think they have heralded a new political age.
Instead, chaos erupts, and civil war begins.
Who will seize power?
Will this bring conflict or stability?
Will the new ruler also fall to corruption?
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S
