Julius Caesar, one of William Shakespeare's plays, may have been written as the first of his plays to be performed at the Globe, in 1599. For it, he turned to a key event in Roman history: Caesar's death at the hands of friends and fellow politicians. Renaissance writers disagreed over the assassination, seeing Brutus, a leading conspirator, as either hero or villain. Shakespeare's play keeps this debate alive.
Julius Caesar was printed in the 1623 First Folio. Sources include North's translation of Plutarch's Lives.[1]
