Antony and Cleopatra
by William Shakespeare
A wonderful drama of love and war, this riveting tragedy represents one of Shakespeare's greatest female characters – the seductious, cunning Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. The Roman leader Mark Antony is a virtual prisoner of his passion for her, a man divided between pleasure and virtue, between sensual laziness and duty... between empire and love. "Anthony and Cleopatra", who are brave, rich and noted for their appearance and emotions, are among Shakespeare's greatest achievements.
