Wanna know the best bit? Cleopatra, arguably the love of his life (in whichever way hybristic Romans understood that), was born in 69 B.C.

Ides of March 2025 is going to be a fucking blast because it will have been 2069 years since Caesar's death day

[ramblings-of-a-history-student]

So much history was lost to us, simply because it was seen as such common knowledge that no one thought it would ever not be. How much of the history we are making will be lost; just because no one thinks to make a note of it? On the other side, how much will be saved because of our new technology? However, in the same vein, how much will that same technology and our obsession with it cause us to miss?

Propaganda

Julius Caesar (Caesar and Cleopatra) - Getting to see Claude Rains in color is a special treat. Getting to see Claude Rains in a historical drama is also a treat. Getting to see Claude Rains in platform sandals is again, also a treat.

Paul Verin (The Man Who Reclaimed His Head) - scrungly little dad. adorable all around ^-^

This is round one for The King of The Claudes tournament and other matchups can be found here!

Additional Propaganda under the cut!

THE ASSASSINATION OF JULIUS CAESAR AS TOLD BY William Shakespeare AND George Bernard Shaw will have its world premiere at the West End Theatre (263 West 86th St.), starting performances on February 24th, 2024. The play is adapted and directed by Eric Tucker from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and Caesar and Cleopatra by George Bernard Shaw. Tucker's adaptation will be an in-depth examination of the character of Julius Caesar by combining Shakespeare and Shaw's character as one. Caesar's journey from Alexandria to Rome, from beloved, charismatic leader to a perhaps mistrusted tyrant will be especially potent in this election year. Casting and creative team to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets are now available at bedlam.org.
