                              Caesar as a:


              "  J  U  L  I  U  S        C  A  E  S  A  R  "


                               PLAY BY:

                           William Shakspeare


        One of the world best plays about Julius Caesar is by William Shake-
speare. It tells from William's point of what happened in Julius Caesar's
life in Rome from when he was in power till his death " The Ides of March "
in March 15, 45 b.c. that the play Julius Caesar was in Part #1 and Part #2
with over 346 acts, and over a 376 page script that was based on the
true play written by William Shakespeare himself.


        Two thousand years after his deaht, the name Julius Aesar is known to
to all of us. If Shakespeare had never written the play " Julius Caesar ",
we still would have read of the great general in Plutarch's Lives or in
Caesar's Commentaries, but we might never have seen the human meaning
in the story of Julius Caesar.

        Now, because of Shakespeare's play the name "Caesar" makes us think
of Mark Anthony's funeral oration, of lean and hungry Cassius, and of Caesar's
word's " Et tu, Brute? " when he relizes his most honored friend has turned
from him and now wants to murder him.

        Shakespeare's play takes us to the Senate of Rome, to the battlefields
of Philippi, and into the hearts of men to show us the rich dimensions of
feeling and meaning in the story of Julius Caesar.

      But the play Julius Caesar is not only a play it is also a movie.
