Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
'Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war, That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial' Fearful that Caesar will become a tyrant, his friends plot to assassinate him in order to save Rome. But the conspirators' high principles clash with personal malice and ambition, and as they vie to manipulate the mob, the nation is plunged into bloody civil war. A taut, profound drama exploring power and betrayal, Julius Caesar exposes the chasm between public appearance, political rhetoric and bitter reality.
