Beware the Ides of March...
Brian Wilmer is God's gift to amateur dramatics - and he knows it. So when the Castlemarsh Players take the ambitious decision to stage Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, there is only one man who can play the title role - even though Brian's posturing 'prima donna' attitude has, over the years, won him few friends and many foes.
Rehearsals progress apace, and the production draws ever closer. But when another member of the cast has to drop out due to illness, local journalist Sarah Carmichael (a stalwart of the Players' backstage crew) suddenly finds herself called upon to step into the breach at the eleventh hour.
Not surprisingly, Sarah finds that Brian is in his egotistical element playing the mighty Caesar. The fact that the final performance of the play takes place on the infamous Ides of March - the day when, according to tradition, Caesar was fatally stabbed - only adds to the excitement.
But tragedy is waiting in the wings. And when it strikes, it falls to Sarah - with the help of Brian's personable and fascinating nephew Martin Burns - to uncover the incredible truth about what really happened...
