Format:Paperback
I bought this play because I was looking for something refreshing and challenging. The play hits the spot on both those points. I shouldn't fail to mention the character of Caligula, who in this is the dark, fascinating figure we think we are familiar with. I like plays that inspire me to want to perform them, and Caligula has certainly inspired me to thinking creatively about how such a play could work theatrically. Fantastic language too.

You can think so many things about the protagonist the emperor Caligula and that I think is one of the stronger sides of this play. You don't have to hate him you can agree with him, and maybe even see yourself in his acting. Very good play easy to read in french so do it!
