This play explores the events that conspired in the lead up to the fall of the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, and in the years that followed his death.

Brutus's fragmented struggle forms a central theme of the play. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is considered to be the greatest writer in the English language and is celebrated as the world's most famous dramatist.
