Antony and Cleopatra
Julius Caesar is dead: his right-hand man, Antony, and his legal heir, Octavius, have divided the Roman Empire between them in an uneasy peace. But Antony has become deeply enraptured by the Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. And she’s as ambitious and wily and seductive a politician as any Roman.
Shakespeare’s tragedy, almost his last play of this kind, is replete with romance and politics.
