STATE UNBORN, 2144C.E.
An adaptation of William Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR.
​
“How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown?”
Act Three, Scene One.
​
​
Exclaims Cassius as he lathers his arms in the blood of the murdered Caesar. Even in this most frenzied of moments, precedent, and the presence of future histories is felt. The murder performed by the conspirators at the Capitol in 44BC is not an event of singular brutality, but an inevitable and enduring stain on human nature that is to be enacted across cosmoses and galaxies, past, present and future.
​
Two thousand one hundred years hence, in the year 2144 C.E. in State Unborn, a police state not so dissimilar to Rome, there rules another Caesar and there festers a conspiracy to see him killed. Once again, violent libertarians desire to end the rule of another tyrant-dictator.
