Classic Serial: Caesar!

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Peeling Figs for Julius. The last of three plays by Mike Walker drawing on Lives of the Caesars by Suetonius. Was Caligula the evil man history has painted him? Growing up in the poisonous atmosphere of Tiberius's court, the only person he could really trust was his sister, Drusilla. Contains strong language. Producer/director Jeremy Mortimer Repeated Saturday at 9pm
