Synopsis "Imperium "

Following his stunning RSC adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies (2013/14), Mike Poulton turns his pen to the thrilling world of Ancient Rome with a brand new version of Robert Harris' best-selling Cicero novels. This epic event will be staged as six plays, presented in two performances, each with two intervals, and will be directed by RSC Artistic Director, Gregory Doran.Cicero, the greatest orator of his age, devoted all his energy and cunning to preserve the rule of law, and defend Rome's Republic against the predatory attacks of political rivals, discontented aristocrats, and would-be military dictators.

Author and journalist, Robert Harris studied English Literature at Selwyn College, Cambridge, where he stood out for his activism and his work as the editor of the university newspaper, a prelude to his later career in well-known media such as The Observer or the Sunday Times, as well as for the BBC, where he presented current affairs programs Panorama and Newsnight

In literature, Harris made a name for himself as an essayist, publishing several books of investigative journalism, until in 1992 he achieved worldwide success with Fatherland, a uchronia where Nazi Germany wins World War II. From that moment, he dedicated himself almost exclusively to writing historical novels, with novels like Enigma, Stalin's Son, Pompeii, Imperium, or Conspiracy

Fatherland, Enigma, The Ghost Writer, and Stalin's Son were successfully adapted into film and television
