CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents “The Murder of Caesar,” originally broadcast September 24, 1980, as episode 1121. Written by G. Frederick Lewis and directed by Himan Brown, this historical drama features Paul Hecht, Earl Hammond, Joan Shay, and Gordon Gould.
In ancient Rome, Julius Caesar’s growing power unsettles the men closest to him as political loyalties fracture and warnings gather around the Ides of March. Drawing on classical accounts attributed to Plutarch, Cicero, and “Plutonius,” the episode follows Brutus, Cassius, Portia, Calpurnia, and Caesar through the tension of Rome’s defining political crisis.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
