Julius Caesar

by Jim Bulman, Andrew Hartley, Carol Chillington Rutter

Julius Caesar presents a performance history of a controversial play, moving from its 1599 opening all the way into the new millennium with particular emphasis on its twentieth- and twenty-first-century incarnations on stage and screen. The book tracks the play's evolution from being a play about the oratorical skill of noble Romans to its recent manifestations as a dark political thriller. Chapters in this theoretically savvy and global study consider productions such as Orson Welles's groundbreaking examination of European Fascism, Joseph Mankeiwicz's Oscar winning 1953 film, politically complex productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and shows from around the world which interrogate their own cultural and educational context as well as pressing contemporary concerns such as the reach of mass media.

Die Geschäfte des Herrn Julius Caesar

Romanfragment

by Bertolt Brecht

»Die Dialektik des ›Caesar‹-Romans äußert sich darin«, schreibt Hans Mayer, »daß die verklärende Geschichtsschreibung des nachgeborenen Historikers bei der Quellensuche immer unangenehmer beeinträchtigt wird durch die Beichte von Caesars Bankier und die Aufzeichnungen des Hausverwalters Rarus. Die Apologetik wird mit Ökonomik kontrastiert. Das Abenteuer Caesar spiegelt sich im Kalkül des mächtigen Bankiers ebenso wie in den häuslichen Miseren und Transaktionen des Generals, Politikers, Schriftstellers.«

The False One

By John Fletcher and Philip Massinger

by Domenico Lovascio

Advertised in its Prologue as a prequel to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, Fletcher and Massinger's The False One is the first literary work completely to revolve around the affair between Caesar and Cleopatra. In its deployment of their liaison as a venue for the exploration and criticism of contemporary political manoeuvring and its high-spirited and pungent appropriation of Roman history, the play proves to be one of the most compelling Jacobean dramatizations of the classical past. This Revels Plays edition offers the first fully annotated, single-volume critical edition of The False One, with a thorough introduction that provides new insights on the date and the theatre of the play's first performance, examines the playwrights' reworking of their sources and explores the theatrical potential of a play that has hitherto regrettably been lost to the dramatic repertory.
