Tyranny, imperialism and political authority define Shakespeare's enduring dramatic depiction of ruling power and regime change in ancient Rome.
A touchpoint for characterising tyrannical leaders throughout the world, Julius Caesar has told a cautionary tale of the uneasy relationship between political leaders and citizens from the time it was first performed up to the 21st century.
