Julius Caesar By William Shakespeare - Shakespeare’s Globe

‘Summer is all the sweeter for a Shakespeare road trip’

The Daily Telegraph

This Summer, Shakespeare’s Globe brings a startlingly relevant new production of epic tragedy Julius Caesar to The Festival Theatre at Hever Castle as part of their nationwide Globe on Tour series.
Conspiracy to kill, cunning rhetoric, a divisive fight for Greatness: Ancient Rome has never felt closer to home. When Cassius and Brutus decide Rome’s leader Caesar poses a political threat to their beloved country, there’s only one solution…
Shakespeare’s Globe and award-winning Director Diane Page bring this brutal tale of ambition, incursion, and revolution to life.
‘Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins

Remorse from power.’

Synopsis

Julius Caesar returns to Rome triumphant from the war against Pompey. The Roman Republic heaps him with honours, causing concern amongst some senators who fear that too much power is held by one man, and that the public are neglecting their usual work. This is despite Caesar declining to take the crown three times over. A soothsayer warns Caesar to beware the Ides of March, which he ignores.

Caius Cassius plots a conspiracy to murder Caesar, enlisting the support of the well-respected Marcus Brutus. Brutus has misgivings but is persuaded that Caesar’s death is necessary for the good of the Republic. Brutus persuades Cassius that it is not worth approaching Mark Antony, Caesar’s friend.
