Melody Bates sly, sexy, hilarious romp through Julius Caesar, affectionately burlesques Shakespeare and Ancient Rome while casting a sharply satirical light on the plays themes and how they reflect our own times. Irreverent and vivacious twins Flora and Fawna run the hottest underground club in Ancient Rome, regaling nightly audiences with song, dance, and just the right amount of scandal. Its the Ides of March and Caesar's back in town: the club is abuzz with soothsayers, saboteurs, Senators, and other degenerates. Flora and Fawna launch into their show, but with Rome on edge, satire can be a dangerous game. The feisty hostesses strive to keep their audience entertained--and safe--while the events of Shakespeares play threaten to overwhelm the evening. Will Caesar become Emperor? Will anyone become Emperor? Will Rome survive the mob? Will democracy survive a Roman meltdown?and just what does democracy mean if not everyone gets to participate? Showbiz, glamour, original music, comets, philosophy, assassinations, war, ghost stories, knock knock jokes, and one particularly surly lionIts the Ides of March at Club Caesarwhat could go wrong?
