Julius Caesar

Staged: the origins of YA’s greatest tropes

  • William Shakespeare



STAGED: Timeless tropes, enduring stories - a new Puffin Classics collection

‘There is a tide in the affairs of men.’

Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of power and betrayal.

It’s lonely at the top.

As the triumphant General Julius Caesar’s power continues to grow, so too does a plot to undo him. Contrived by enemies, joined by friends, it is the ultimate betrayal, and it will cost Caesar his life.

Who will rise to fill the power vacuum – Caesar’s enemies, or his few true friends?

Offering the complete and unabridged text, set in a dyslexic-friendly font and introduced by renowned YA authors, this beautifully designed collection is the perfect way to introduce YA readers to Shakespeare's most iconic stories.
