Tiro will be welcoming you to Rome for the very last time on Saturday. It's nearly time for #RSCImperium to march out of the Gieglud Theatre in triumph.

The politicians of today could learn a lot from Caesar's funeral. THAT's how you work a crowd. #RSCImperium

Passions run high in the senate. Be careful not to cause offence, though, as friends can quickly turn into enemies. #RSCImperium

Cicero was the greatest orator of his age. He passed on his skills to a new generation of Roman leaders... skills that they used to bring about his downfall. #RSCImperium

The Roman Republic was built on secret alliances. And, as we come to learn, it was secret alliances that tore it down. ⚔️ #RSCImperium

"I begged you. I knelt at your feet. One day I’ll make you kneel at mine." Cicero made an awful lot of enemies for a man with a silver tongue! 🗡️ #RSCImperium

"Why are you putting your family through this torment?" Cicero puts his family in grave danger when he stands in the way of Caesar's ambition. #RSCImperium

@Dannythefink @Robert___Harris I saw both parts in one day. It only gets better in Part 2. Fantastic performances.

Went to see part one of Imperium last night, the plays based on the Cicero books of @Robert___Harris . Magnificent. The tension between shameless populist appeals and defence of freedom by an elite afraid of losing their privileges was superb. Do see it if you can.

Nepotism, violence, bribery... all rife in Ancient Rome. 🗡️ But we'd never let anything like that happen in politics today. #RSCImperium

Designer Anthony Ward has created both the intimacy of the Roman senate and the 'god-like' grandeur of Caesar's funeral with just one design. Don’t miss your last chance to see #RSCImperium, at the Gielgud Theatre until 8 September.

Shakespeare only gave Cicero a handful of lines in Julius Caesar. 📜 But there's a great deal to be gained from looking at these events through Cicero's eyes. #RSCImperium

Well, if playing by the rules isn't getting you anywhere... Some people will do anything for power. #RSCImperium

Caesar graduated from leadership to dictatorship quite naturally... or so he puts it. That could never happen today though, could it?! #RSCImperium

Ours is a story of Ancient Rome... but look closely and history becomes a mirror. ⚔️ #RSCImperium
