Fertility, loyalty and family are explored in this female-centered adaptation of Julius Caesar. As the republic teeters on the brink of a monarchy, Portia (the wife of Brutus) defies the odds to protect those she holds dear and risks everything for the democracty in which she believes. The story of Caesar's ambitious reach for power is refocused towards the women of Rome in Shakespeare's political thriller about the price we pay when we fight for our beliefs.
