William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (c.1598), a tragedy of power, assassination and revenge, presents a broad range of historical personalities as complicated human beings in agonizing conflict with one another.  In the opening street scene, Roman commoners gather together to rejoice in Caesar's “triumph over Pompey's blood,” while patricians, fearing Caesar's growing ambition, conspire against him.  Cassius leads the intriguers; Casca and Cinna convince the noble Brutus to join the conspiracy and Caesar dies by their swords.  The triumph of the conspirators over Caesar is quickly diverted by Mark Antony as he stirs the public to seek out and kill Caesar's assassins.  Mark Antony joins forces with Octavius Caesar and Octavius' army triumphs.  The swords which Cassius and Brutus use to kill Caesar are the swords which bring about their demise.  Last produced at Wabash in 1937.
