Before you watch...

2. How would you direct this scene to relate to our times? 

After watching...

1.  Nelson Mandela chose 'Cowards die many times before their death;/The valiant only taste of death but once' as favorite lines. Ceasar says these lines. To whom in the play do you think they most apply?
2. What example of a hand prop is given in the clip which shows how powerfully a prop can speak for a character? 
3. What do the actors say is happening in the world today which makes Julius Caesar a play of our time?
