[@ShotDownInFlames2]

How interesting everyone interprets the signs in the way that works for them.

[@JamesTaylor-pn4zf]

That's because they were very superstitious although sometimes it was manipulated by the political elite, seeing signs before battles etc

[@debakugue2624]

Love her voice.

[@fidahafiz5594]

Calpurnia forgot a line after 1:11 " And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets"

[@fatcat8088]

Maybe it was cut?

[@ManoverSuperman]

“The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead/ Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.”

Never a better quote!!

[@pbrstreetgang6797]

Dude: To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

[@RealityContradiction]

This is GOOD ..

[@CuppaJoel]

Thank you very much. :)

[@arunimasaha6458]

Caesar was absolutely not so arrogant

[@subhmaypatra5562]

He was like a coconut, hard from outside and soft from inside

[@maltisaklani2877]

amazing dialogue dilevery

[@MrKC23]

Dear RSC if you release Greg Hicks portrayal of Coriolanus, & Macbeth. I would buy it.

[@theRSC]

I don't believe that these productions were filmed

[@devonwalter6053]

I just realized that the guy is Greg Hicks from the movie “Son of God”. He played Pontius Pilate the main Roman in the movie.

[@ykan1]

Caesar is Greg Hicks and Calpurnia is Noma Dumezweni.

What are the names of these fantastic actors?

[@AlasdairMackintosh0]

+El Coveney Greg Hicks and Noma Dumezweni, I believe. ;www.theguardian.com/stage/2009/may/28/julius-caesar-rsc

[@elcoveney6459]

Thank you so much! What beautiful speaking voices they have!

[@dailypete]

Definitely Act 2 scene 2, 1489, what text are you on? There are only 3 scenes in Act1 !!

[@GoogleUser-tn2tz]

This is exactly why American acting is "dying."

[@arunimasaha6458]

You r right

[@geraldgermajestyprice]

I am currently portraying Decius, and I would like to point out this excerpt is taken from Act 1, Scene 5 of "Julius Caesar" and not Act 2, Scene 2. The actors in the video seemingly utilized the meter as if they were speaking in prose; however, Shakespeare intended, especially Decius, during this scene to speak in Verse because of his ranking. Other than that, interesting rendition.

[@ManoverSuperman]

What are you talking about? The meter came through very clearly. Also, yes, this is Act 2 Scene 2, unless you are using a non-standard version of Shakespeare, I suppose. But as far as the popular printings of the text go, this is, in fact, Act 2 Scene 2.

[@raunakagarwal9948]

what about its continuation? CAESAR : Good friends, go in , and taste some wine with me

[@CuppaJoel]

I may seem like a fool for asking this-- could anyone tell me what are the names of these actors? I understand that they work with the RSC, but I couldn't find their names.

[@subhmaypatra5562]

*Calphurina:* _Noma Dumezweni_ *Julius Caesar:* _Greg Hicks_

[@dollaphansathit9802]

0:25

[@MFPhoto1]

Is that Peter Capaldi at 0:19 and 1:54? The first time I watched, I thought so. The second time, I said no it isn't. There third time, I thought it was for sure. After a few more viewings, I am not sure.

[@goodlookinouthomie1757]

The actor is James Gale.

[@yashfeenshah3617]

if anyone is reading this i am very shy and have to play mark antony in my school play please help me i cant do this

[@rawvid9065]

Brother how did you performance go ??

[@catherinegrimmer2313]

she missed a line. After "horses did nigh and dying men did groan" she forgot " And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets." and then it is "O Ceasar!"

[@robertjordan355]

This is beyond awful. Caesar sounds like a whiny small time yuppie trying to prove himself in some corporate setting. As for Calpurnia, why the monotonal + lacklustre delivery. It's like she doesn't give a shit whether Caesar runs into danger or not. Never impressed with the RSC. They always try to make Shakespeare words sound like everyday speech. It never works. It is a higher discourse and should be treated and performed as such.

[@laisphinto6372]

the mark Anthony was good however

[@Student____2025__1]

Completely ridiculous casting. Insulting.

[@iateyursandwiches]

It's stage play. Suspension of disbelief is higher and no one really cares as long as the actor is good.

[@vindolanda6974]

Ugh this is limp acting. They have no sense of the play or the language. Caesar is worst, he is not bringing anything new at all. The woman is at least trying it seems but she is miscast ( not due to her colour).

[@lakshayagupta1278]

not able to understand the English. rubbish play

[@nishikantbajpai4717]

Please.....can i have its act2 scene 3....pls.....u r the best....👍👍❤❤❤❤
