Overview

The most famous of Shakespeare's Roman tragedies, Julius Caesar was written and first performed in 1599 and was apparently one the plays Shakespeare's contemporaries enjoyed the most. Recounting the death of Caesar on the steps of the Senate house, the play offers some of Shakespeare's finest scenes: Antony's skillful speech at Caesar's funeral and the quarrel and reconciliation between Brutus and Cassius with the news of Portia's death.
