Publisher's summary

The Folger Shakespeare Library, home to the world's largest Shakespeare collection, brings Julius Caesar to life with this new full-length, full-cast dramatic recording of its definitive Folger Edition.

Shakespeare may have written Julius Caesar as the first of his plays to be performed at the Globe in 1599. For it he turned to a key event in Roman history: Caesar's death at the hands of friends and fellow politicians. Renaissance writers disagreed over the assassination, seeing Brutus, a leading conspirator, as either hero or villain. Shakespeare's play keeps this debate alive.

This new, unabridged audio recording of the well-respected edition of Shakespeare's classic--expertly produced by the Folger Theatre--is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.

good play, difficult to distinguish characters

aside from the diffulty making out specific characters and uncertainty in some scenes if it's public or private it's fine.

Best Production, Ever!

I am a high school English teacher, and after my students listened to this performance, they were more than excited to read aloud and perform a scene for their final project. It was great!

Story by the GOAT; good performance

It’s no wonder Shakespeare is the best ever. The story is great and largely accurate, there are no villains, and every speech is gold.

Oh god the accents

Story is brilliant and a lot funnier than I remembered. Most of the main actors are good but the accents are off-putting. The voices of the crowd are awful

Excellent Acting!

This version of the play is very easy to understand, even though it is Shakespearean English. The acting is excellent!

Nice

This was my first listening to Shakespeare's work, honestly, not impressed
This does not serve as a good history listen for the events are not clearly stated. It, however, is a good presentation of what the lifes of and characters of the people living in that era looked like

This was a really good book.

I really loved this book. The people acting in this book where really good actors. I recommend this book if you like suspenseful books, but there was a lot of deaths in it.
