Book Description
Julius Caesar is the most powerful man in Rome, but his power threatens the republic's very existence. A conspiracy is hatched, one that will have fatal consequences not only for Caesar and the conspirators, but for the future history of the Ancient World. At its heart is the noble Brutus, caught in the tragic conflict between private affection and public duty.

Great in the Classroom, Feb 25 2007
By Bill Shakespeare "Englishguru" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Julius Caesar (Audio CD)
I have used this version in teaching Julius Caesar to sophomores in high school with great luck. The actual length of each scene shows on my computer (Windows Media Player), so I can plan lessons appropriately. The actors do an excellent job and my students enjoy listening as they follow along in the lit. texts. I whole-heartedly endorse this item.

Better than the movie!, Jan 4 2007

This review is from: Julius Caesar (Audio CD)
High School English students never loved Julius Caesar, and the dated movie versions that our school owns don't help any. This recording brings the emotion of the story to life, and I think my sophomores secretly enjoyed it (but would die before they admitted it.)

Brilliant!, Dec 11 2008

This review is from: Julius Caesar (Audio CD)
This recording just about saved my life. Seriously. Although I have taught Romeo & Juliet to high school freshmen about a million times, this year I was tapped to teach a class of sophomores reading...gulp...JULIUS CAESAR! This was never my favorite of Shakespeare's plays, and most of my memories of it derived from my own dreadfully dull tenth grade experience.When I began reading the play with my own students, it didn't take any of us long to realize that their halting, stilted, first-time line-readings would make the play more difficult for them to interpret and enjoy. So, over a long weekend, I ordered Arkangel's recording. I had no idea that this recording would actually change my opinion of the play itself!
My students and I became completely captivated by the characters of Caesar as performed by the brilliant actors involved in this recording. John Bowe as Brutus and Adrian Lester as Antony impressed us particularly--their famous speeches to the people of Rome following the death of Caesar actually had my class of sophomores on the edge of their seats!
I highly recommend this fantastic recording to anyone teaching Caesar.
Listmania!
