Scenery: Exterior
Caligula explores the absolutism of power and the catastrophe of tyranny. Caesar summons his council whose first thought is of taxes. Very well says Caesar if taxes are more important than human hearts he may safely kill without conscience. He pursues the logic to the bitter end. In the last scene he is murdered an ending he knew was inevitable. "Has given the theatre a red hot glow." N.Y. World Telegram & Sun.
