Julius Caesar

Synopsis

This six-episode podcast miniseries looks at the political currents that influenced Shakespeare and how they apply to the world today. Hosted by Isaac Butler. In the 1590s, worried about future of his own country, Shakespeare turned to the story of the fall of the Roman Republic to examine themes of violence, politics, and mob rule. At a moment of crisis for our republic, what can we learn from Shakespeare’s portrait of the death of Julius Caesar?
