Shakespeare Unbard, Ep. 20: Julius Caesar has a really bad day on the Ides of March

The central relationship of Julius Caesar is a masculine one: it is the dissolution of the friendship between Brutus and Cassius that is Shakespeare's primary concern. In focusing on something so personal, Shakespeare is able to demonstrate how large events have a personal cost.  In Episode 20 of Shakespeare Unbard, Joel Fishbane explores one of Shakespeare's greatest and most enduring works.

In this episode, you'll hear clips and excerpts from:

  • Brill, Clive. dir. Julius Caesar. Arkangel Shakespeare.

  • Shakespeare, William.  Julius Caesar (The Riverside Shakespeare). Houghton and Mifflin, 1974.
