Et tu, Brute? This classic Shakespearean tragedy was first performed in 1599. Concerned that Julius Caesar poses a threat to democracy, revolutionaries (including his most trusted friend Brutus) take the violent decision to murder him. As the world spins out of control, chaos and superstition lead to civil war in ancient Rome.
