​

In one of Shakespeare’s most enduring political dramas, Julius Caesar explores the perilous intersection of ambition, loyalty, and power. In this adaptation, the drama plays out within the fortified walls of Rome Correctional Facility, a brutal maximum-security prison where status is power—and power can be fatal.

​

Julius Caesar, a legendary inmate, has just claimed dominance over the prison. After years of manipulation, strength, and strategy, she’s finally secured control. As she basks in her hard-won authority—surrounded by followers, flanked by loyal enforcers—her celebration echoes through the cellblocks. But not everyone is cheering.

​

Brutus, a fellow prisoner and Caesar’s longtime confidant, begins to question whether Caesar’s rule is liberation or tyranny. Coaxed by the sharp-witted and deeply suspicious Cassius, Brutus joins a secret conspiracy to take Caesar down—believing it’s the only way to prevent total dictatorship within the prison walls.

​

But the conspirators’ noble intentions quickly unravel. Caesar's shocking murder on the Ides of March sets off a violent chain of events, as Mark Antony—Caesar’s loyal ally—rallies the people of Rome with one of the most famous speeches in theatrical history. What follows is a gripping descent into civil war, betrayal, and tragedy.

​

As trust shatters and the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Julius Caesar becomes a raw, high-stakes exploration of power, betrayal, and what it means to rule when freedom is a distant dream. In a world locked down by iron and concrete, ambition still finds a way to rise—and to fall.
