Description
In Shakespeare's tale of political conflict and intrigue set in ancient Rome, Brutus and others conspire to assassinate Julius Caesar.
Quick Summary
Shakespeare serves up political backstabbing, conspiracies, and betrayals in ancient Rome, where friends turn into enemies overnight. The drama bursts to life with a knife fight in the Senate, ghostly visions haunting conspirators, and one of literature's most famous funeral speeches that could give any modern rapper a run for their money. If your kid enjoys the power struggles and shocking twists of "The Hunger Games," they'll be hooked by the brutal assassination plot and the street riots that explode afterward. This works best for teens in grades 10 through 12, especially those who like historical drama with real teeth.
