Julius Caesar: 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.
