Summary From RSC
Caesar returns from war, all-conquering, but mutiny is rumbling through the corridors of power.
Our Rome season in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre opens with the politics of spin and betrayal turning to violence. Following his sell-out productions of Tom Morton-Smith’s Oppenheimer (2014) and James Fenton’s adaptation of Don Quixote (2016), Season Director Angus Jackson steers the thrilling action as the race to claim the empire spirals out of control.

My notes
This Julius Caesar continues my recodes of much larger files and to keep them circulation for a newer audience. Again it is possible to compare severl Julius Caesar productions in my file group. A previous presentation committed to DVD by the RSC with Patterson Joseph as Brutus can found here. And The Globe had a production of Julius Caesar available on dvd which I also maintain in this archive.
