This tense and tightly plotted political thriller portrays the life-and-death struggle for power in Rome.

Despite warnings to beware the Ides of March, Caesar goes to the senate and is killed, leaving the future of Rome in question.

Roald Dahl’s WILLY WONKA, with a memorable score by Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newley, follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever finds these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather.
