Julius Caesar

Synopsis
Televised version of the play, with Robert Perceval as Caesar and Eric Porter as Brutus. According to its producer, Stuart Burge, the production strives "for a true and lively interpretation of the text, but it will be designed for the screen, and will have no regard for the long tradition of stage conventions associated with the play" (Radio Times, 5 May 1959, p. 9).
