Résumé :
Julius Caesar was a general and stateman whose favor among the Roman people was viewed as a threat and source of conflict with other consuls. He was eventually targeted by a group of conspirators who sought to neutralize his power and influence. After defeating his longtime enemy, Pompey, Caesar is celebrated upon his return home. Roman citizens are enamored by the general, while politicians are concerned with his growing accomplishments. They fear Caesar will become driven by ambition, coveting a position as the king of Rome.

Biographie:
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English playwright, poet, actor, and shareholder in the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later the King's Men. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, he became the central dramatist of the English Renaissance stage and remains the most widely read and performed writer in the English language. His plays range across tragedy, comedy, history, romance, and problem drama, combining theatrical intelligence, psychological depth, political awareness, verbal power, and an extraordinary ability to give dramatic form to human conflict.Shakespeare's major works include Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and the English history plays. Coriolanus, one of his Roman tragedies, draws on classical history to examine pride, military virtue, public opinion, political rhetoric, class resentment, and the destructive force of a hero who cannot separate honour from contempt. Its severity and political intelligence have made it one of Shakespeare's most enduring plays for readers and theatres interested in power, populism, war, and civic crisis....
