Julius Caesar, Sunday, October 25 at 3PM

Caesar has returned to Rome in triumph after defeating the forces of Pompey. But a group of senators, alarmed by his growing power and fearful that his ambition will destroy the Republic, begins plotting his assassination. To strengthen their cause, they persuade Brutus—a trusted friend of Caesar and a man renowned for his honor—that Rome’s future depends upon joining the conspiracy against the man he calls friend. One of Shakespeare’s greatest political dramas, Julius Caesar explores loyalty, ambition, betrayal, honor, and the terrible consequences of political violence. Filled with unforgettable speeches, tense conspiracies, public spectacle, and gripping battles, the play remains as timely today as it was more than four hundred years ago.
