This history play tells the story of Caesar, a man rapidly acquiring an empire, and the envy which some of his contemporaries felt towards him. Eventually, this led to the assassination of Caesar.  

 

The play effectively demonstrates the consequences of excessive power. The original play portrayed women as perspicacious, but although they are in touch with their intuition, they do not hold any leadership or influential roles. Because of the all-female cast, women played characters who held high authority, and who were undeniably the pillars on which the play stood. The casting choices provided women with lead roles, while in a traditional production, women would never have been cast in these roles.  

 

Clearly, it is essential to express to modern women that they are capable of any and all strong roles historically considered a "man's." The intention of this production was to inspire conversation about modern feminism while reinforcing equality for women. Undoubtedly, the play accomplished its goals. The performance instantly sparked conversation, especially within our class. This play, whether its viewers agree or disagree with its goal, causes them to accept that women can achieve all that men can.
