Julius Caesar - William Shakespeare

'Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasma or a hideous dream'

Whne it seems that Julius Caesar may assume supreme power, a plot to destroy him is hatched by those determined to preserve the threatened republic. But the different motives of the conspirators soon become apparent when high principles clash with malice and political realism. As the nation plunges into bloody civil war, this taut drama explores the violent consequences of betrayal and murder.

The book includes a general introduction to 'Julius Caesar', a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary.

Please note this copy has light scuffs on the edges of the covers.
