Tossup

A play set in this city ends with Aaron the Moor wishing he had done more evil, as he is sentenced to be buried chest-deep and starved. In that play set in this city, the queen Tamora eats pies containing her children, fulfilling the title character’s revenge scheme. While observing a festival (10[1])in this city, a character remarks that “the fault ... is not in our stars, (10[1])but in ourselves.” (10[1])In this city, a man repeatedly calls his enemy an ‘honourable man’ (10[2])in a speech that asks for his (10[1])‘friends’ and ‘countrymen’ (10[1])to ‘lend me your ears.’ In this city, a leader ignores (10[1])a soothsayer’s warning to beware the Ides of March. For 10 points, name this city, the setting of William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. ■END■ (10[1])
