de William Shakespeare

by The London Academy of music
and dramatic art (Lamda)

At the Roman fertility festival of Lupercal, Mark Antony offers a crown to Julius Caesar. Although Caesar rejects the offer, the fear that too much power is already concentrated in one man leads several prominent members of Republican Rome to plot his assassination. One of the leading conspirators, Caius Cassius, enlists support for the plot from the well-respected Marcus Brutus. Brutus has misgivings but is persuaded that Caesar’s death is necessary for the good of the Republic. However, he rejects Cassius’ proposal that Mark Antony should also be killed. Disregarding the prophetic dream of his wife Calphurnia, Caesar goes to the Capitol on the Ides of March and is stabbed to death. At Caesar’s funeral first Brutus and then Antony speak, presenting contrasting views of the conspirators’ motives. The people turn against the conspirators, who are forced to flee Rome. Mark Antony and Caesar’s nephew Octavius take command of Rome and lead an army against the forces of Brutus and Cassius. The conspirators are defeated at Philippi. Cassius commits suicide. Brutus, sensing defeat and haunted by Caesar’s ghost, also takes his own life.
