It’s THE IDES OF MARCH, people! Time to celebrate with everybody’s favorite hapless soothsayer.
In honor of the Ides, I’ve written the following short play:
The Helpful Soothsayer
SOOTHSAYER: Caesar! Beware the Ides of March! CAESAR: Why? SOOTHSAYER: Because Cassius and Brutus and a bunch of other people are planning to stab you to death then. CAESAR: Wow, thanks very much, Soothsayer. I’ll get right on that.
THE END
Additionally, if you want to print out your very own feel-good Ides of March mini-comic, check out my Shakespearean What-If mini-comic. Have a happy Ides and, whatever you do, don’t let anyone named Casca stand behind you.
