Very innovative! Thanks for the story.

"Et Ego Caesar."

First of all, let it be known to all that I quite enjoyed this, I wish I could find some people to act it out with me (I'm a pretty good actor actually, I can do a mean John Proctor for the Crucible). It's an excellent peice.

But:

The ialouge is shifty, you o from modern terminology to antiquated terms in the same character several times, stick steadfastly to one, to make the dialouge better.

Thanks for the feedback, SKI. I kind of felt a little awkward with the whole thing because of that, too. At times it was kind of intentional - to show that I was, in fact, inspired by the current events, but I can't say that that was the case all, or even most of the times I switched back to modern-sounding dialogue. I'll be sure to keep that in mind if I ever get to writing a play again.

Obviously my sig and name give away my all time favorite play. I must have read JC at least 5 times and I think it is the greatest thing ever written by man. it's good to see that another loves the play as much as I do.

First off, where's Cinna?! You can't do JC w/o Cinna you know Actually Vov, you just proved that you can.

Great work & overall nice dialogue. Cast was authentic, and I liked the out of place plot, it worked. SKIL has pointed out my only complaint with the dialogue. Although some of the funny scenes were a bit sluggish, i guess you could say the same about Shakespeare as well.

Coming from a JC fan such as myself I guess my accolades must mean a bit more. Hope to see your renditions of other famous plays. Antony & Cleopatra is another favorite of mine.

Thanks for the feedback, Cinna.

I don't know it I will rework another play any time soon, as I have a ton of other ideas right now, though no time at all to write them all down properly (and actually, most of them couldn't be tied into an even imaginary game of civ, any way ). But when I do get to another play (which I certainly will eventually, as writing this one was much fun), I will consider your comments and wishes.

Cinna...don't go to pieces on us.

Vovanism, I liked the play. I do agree with Skilord that the dialogue was a bit jumpy, but I enjoyed it all the same. Good work, sir. Hopefully, I might summon up the time and courage to actually write something sometime in ages to come.

Contest bumpity bump.

I also noticed the dialogue jumping from faux Shakespeare to the more modern style but I figured it was intentional.

I did like it, though. I was hoping for the Soothsayer to make an appearance but no such luck.
