Julius Caesar Video Resources

Shakespeare was, of course, a master of the written word. It’s precisely because of this, though, that people forget that much of his work was originally meant to be performed, not merely read. Sometimes it is helpful to see cinematic or theatrical versions of his work to better understand and enjoy it. To that end, here are videos of a couple of the key speeches from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. They will give you a taste of Shakespeare’s spectacular prose, and I hope they will encourage you to watch the entire play. We recommend watching the BBC version.
