What Is Shakespeare's Play Julius Caesar About?

Beware the Ides of March.

In the Roman senate, political infighting and mistrust abound, and a murder plot is hatched against dictator Julius Caesar, who grows ever more power-hungry by the day. But when the public turns against Caesar's enemies, what began as a grudge between senators and friends soon spirals into betrayal and violence as the threat of civil war looms…

The History of Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar is believed to have been written and first performed in 1599. Based on real historical events, it’s believed that Shakespeare largely drew on Sir Thomas North's 1579 translation of Plutarch’s Parallel Lives, a series of 48 biographies of notable Greek and Roman men. The play was one of the first performed at the Globe, and to this day remains one of Shakespeare’s most staged and influential works.
