Passing The Torch: Julius Caesar On The Ides of March

Passing The Torch: Julius Caesar On The Ides of March


The great Shakespearian actor Quentin O' Sullivan was starring in a West End London theatre production of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.


After the performance he met a fellow performer the New Orleans actress and songstress Angelique Dumont for late night/early morning drinks in a cocktail lounge.

Miss Dumont was playing Mina Harker in a musical version of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

When they parted, Quentin O' Sullivan laughed to himself as he walked down the street.

There were rumours that Miss Angelique Dumont was herself a Vampiress.


Quentin laughed.

Oh where, oh where do these silly rumours get started?

He turned to look back in Angelique's direction but there was no sign of the purple evening dress wearing lovely brunette songstress and actress.


Only a small bat flying down the street.


Quentin laughed again.


He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow on his bed when he got home.

He dreamed a dream.

He dreamed he was in a theatre audience watching a live stage performance of Julius Caesar.

He could not see who was playing Caesar.

When Caesar fell after being stabbed by Brutus, Cassius and their fellow conspirators, the figure of Caesar dropped the Imperial Roman laurel crown of Emperor that Mark Antony had once offered him.


Donald Trump appeared on stage and picked up the blood soaked laurel wreath crown.


"Thank you, thank you very much ladies and gentlemen," Donald Trump waved to the crowd, "The people of Ohio suck.  But what can you say about a state that produces a comedian the likes of Drew Carey? However I thank all the intelligent voters who voted for me in all the places we won tonight. Thank you. And please light a votive candle to my genius and pray to my image. Thank you. Thank you very much."
