EPIC TALES IN EPIC FORMS
Eve of Ides
Playwright: David Blixt
​
The night before his assassination at the hands of conspirators, Julius Caesar attended a feast at the house of Lepidus. Also in attendance were Brutus, Cassius, and Antony. During the meal, a drunken Antony asked posed the question, "What's the best way to die?" Caesar answered, "What does it matter, so long as it's quick?"
​
The one flaw of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is that Caesar and Brutus never have the vital debate that motivates Brutus to say, "It must be by his death."
​
Inspired by history and the works of Shakespeare, Eve Of Ides reveals the unexplored relationship between the main players of the age - Caesar, Brutus, and Antony. History was never so alive.
