Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears....

"Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up........."

It is here, the cast list for JULIUS CAESAR......

This was the most difficult play to cast thus far, as the character list is immense. And, the number of lines for most characters, is small.

I think I did a pretty good job in spite of the difficulty.......some of you have quite a few characters of which to keep track. I want you to write the name of your characters on a small notecard to keep track of while we read. I will need to do the same. :)

You can find more than you ever wanted to know about Julius Caesar, the play, here. There will be spoilers, just in case you want to be surprised while we read.

And, a character map can be found here. This is actually quite useful though it does not show all of the characters.


This play is about the same length of the other plays we have read so far and I expect it to take about two Monday evenings. After these two days, we will take two Monday evenings off to enjoy Garrett's basketball games. You may join us if you like.....

When we finish Julius Caesar, we will decide what to do next. Be sure to collect your books if you are going to purchase them.

The Taming of the Shrew
MacBeth
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Twelfth Night........coming up!

Blessings,
