Gerad Murphy, Stella Gonet, Nicholas Farrell and Samantha Bond star in Shakespeare's powerful and turbulent Roman history.
BBC radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.
Political intrigue and fierce battles rage in this tense and dynamic production in which a country is torn apart under the legacy of Julius Caesar, "the colussus".
The play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre, and the CD booklet includes a scene-by-scene synopsis, full character analysis, brief biographies of the leading actors and of Shakespeare himself, as well as an essay from the producer on the interpretation of the play.
Revitalised, original and comprehensive - this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.
