BREAKDOWN

JULIUS CAESAR

SEEKING:

CAESAR--strong, muscular, handsome/ambitious, think Paul Ryan or Justin Trudeau BRUTUS--soulful, level-headed, caring for the populace even to a fault

CASSIUS--self-serving operator, just as ambitious as Caesar but not blessed with the same movie star looks

MARK ANTONY--young and powerful but irresponsible, called to action by the death of his hero TREBONIUS--strong, bold, leader of soldiers

CASCA--funny, quippy, belying a strong sense of self-preservation

CINNA/Citizen1/Soldier 1--swaggering, slightly dangerous

LUCIUS/Citizen 2--young and out of his depth, kind-hearted and loving even though it all DECIUS BRUTUS/Citizen 3/Soldier 2--gung-ho, ready to roll, will do what needs to be done PORTIA/CINNA THE POET/CLITUS/Servant--soulful, sad, doomed

CALPURNIA/PINDARUS/Messenger/Citizen 4--stronger than her politicians wife allows her to show

SOOTHSAYER/POPILIUS/OCTAVIUS--similar in look to Caesar, just as ambitious and dangerous as his father
