Conceived by the literary genius of William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar is a highly political tragedy that has been earning the favor of audiences since the late 16th century. The play has undergone modern interpretations and adaptations in multiple forms, but the spirit of the story, so well ingrained in Roman history, remains timeless. Despite it's title, Caesar takes a back seat to the main character Marcus Brutus, who wrestles with intellectual and moral struggles during a volatile era in Rome.
