Julius Caesar is a comprehensive performance history of a contentious play that spans from its initial production in 1599 to the present day, with a particular focus on its twentieth- and twenty-first-century stage and screen adaptations. The book follows the evolution of the play from a portrayal of the oratory skills of noble Romans to its recent manifestations as a dark political thriller.
In Chapters of this theoretically astute and interdisciplinary study, productions such as Orson Welles groundbreaking exploration of European Fascism, Joseph Mankeiwiczs Oscar-winning 1953 film, politically complex productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and shows from around the world are examined, which interrogate their own cultural and educational context as well as pressing contemporary concerns such as the reach of mass media.
The book explores the ways in which Julius Caesar has been interpreted and reimagined over centuries, reflecting the changing social, political, and cultural landscapes of the time. It examines the play's themes of power, ambition, corruption, and the consequences of political violence, and how these themes have been adapted and reinterpreted in different productions and contexts.
Through its analysis of the play's performance history, Julius Caesar offers valuable insights into the power of theater to shape public opinion, challenge societal norms, and provoke thought. It demonstrates the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's work and the importance of studying and interpreting classical plays in the modern world.
