This may not seem like one of the Bard's great tragedies on paper, but in the hands of a sufficiently talented director, there are so many nuances of this play that may not have been exploited. In act I, scene ii, line 219, when Caesar says, "for always I am Caesar" this can be acted in a pompous way, making Caesar more of a marble figure than an actual character. But, in light of Caesar's next line about his deafness, an actor could say it with a little fatigue so that it seems that Caesar is being weary of always having to "play the part" of Caesar as some historians have suggested. Also, after act III, even though there are some serious gaps in the story, historically speaking, a director could find a very creative way of filling in those gaps. All in all, this is a great play by Shakespeare that is underrated by many.
