Session 1
“Friends, Romans, Countrymen…”
Brutus and Mark Antony. Two speeches. One crowd. A turning point.
Most of us know the famous opening lines. But why does Antony’s speech succeed where Brutus’s fails? How does language change minds? And how can the same words be spoken in completely different ways?
Join Fizza Hasan, literature teacher and theatre practitioner as she unpacks two of the most celebrated speeches in English literature from Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar’.
We’ll read them aloud, explore their historical and dramatic context, compare different interpretations, examine how actors shape meaning through performance, and discuss why these speeches remain astonishingly relevant today.
