Brief synopsis of Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar is the epic story of the legendary leader who single handedly changed the course of Greco-Roman history and earned his place in history as one of the greatest politicians, generals and orators to have ever lived.

From his early years in Rome, through his assent to power and prominence this lavish international production reveals the conspiracy and intrigue lurking behind the Emperor's mask, highlighting Caesar's anxieties and weaknesses as well as his triumphs and his military conquests.

Respecting the known historical facts, an extraordinary cast allow us a unique insight into the characters and events that shaped Caesar's life. In battle, in love and finally in betrayal, this stunning and dramatic production tells the true-life story of a truly remarkable man.

Rated - 3 starsa bit light on the history

A customer from crystal palace , 10/02/2006

it was ok , i suppose. but it appeared to be directed by somebody who did gcse history rather than by a true historian. ie. factually correct ( if sparse on detail ) but basically lacking the passion or irony of simon schama, david starkey or michael wood. Not really set in the context of ancient Rome. i half expected to see the protagonist whip out his mobile phone to command the legions.
