This swinging back-and-forth results in passion when a delicate appreciation of the philosophical base of the play is more appropriate, or staunch underplaying when intensity is required.
In one scene, Caesonia, Caligula's mistress (Sonia Martinez), tries to explain to Scipio (Matthew Horseman), a sensitive and innocent friend of the young Roman emperor, why Caligula had his father's tongue torn from his mouth and then slain for no apparent reason.
Caesonia asks not just Scipio, but the entire audience, to empathize with Caligula and to understand the magnitude of his misery--the torture that drives an individual to such sadism.

Born in 6 AD, Caesonia Milonia was the fourth wife of Caligula.
She married Caligula in 39 AD and was murdered along with her infant daughter, Julia Drusilla, at the same time as her husband in 41 AD.
Caesonia married Caligula in 39 AD, thus it is quite probable that the attribution to Caesonia is incorrect.

I pitied the two actors burdened with the parts of Caligula and his mistress, Caesonia, in an Iranian adaptation of Camus' Caligula listed in the programme.
They could avoid touching throughout the whole play and the audience could accept it as a theatrical convention; but how could Caligula manage the strangulation of Caesonia at the end, as he is supposed to do, without touching her?
That mystery still remains unsolved; a couple of days later I went to see the play, but within 25 minutes I decided I had had enough of prim, wooden Caesonia and of raving, ranting Caligula and did not care what happened to them at the end.

Caligula at last found true love in Milonia Caesonia, an older woman with children from another marriage and a reputation among the Roman elite for being a bit loose, yet the fickle emperor may have actually loved her.
One day, when Caligula was walking unguarded down a narrow corridor between a stadium and his palace, a group of assassins took him by surprise and viciously stabbed him to death, possibly up to thirty times.
Several of the killers rushed over to the palace, murdered Caligula’s wife Caesonia, and also seized little Drusilla by her feet to bash her skull open against a wall.
