"The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" is one of William Shakespeare's most popular and powerful plays, detailing the life and violent assassination of the great general-turned-monarch, Julius Caesar of Rome.

After Caesar returns to Rome in triumph, a group of conspirators decides that he has become too powerful and concocts a plan to murder him. They enlist the help of one of Caesar's closest friends, Brutus, who reluctantly agrees to join the plot and assists in stabbing Caesar to death on the Senate floor. While the Roman public initially supports Caesar's killing, the general Mark Antony manages to convince the people that the conspirators were in the wrong and they are forced to flee the city and go to war with Antony.

A brilliant and disturbing play involving shifting loyalties, the struggle for power and the morality of political assassination, "Julius Caesar" is among the most produced plays of the Shakespearean canon and is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
