Antony and Cleopatra is Shakespeare’s multifaceted tragedy about two of the most famous lovers in history. Arguably the most seductive and complex of Shakespeare’s heroines, as well as a powerful and controversial historical figure, Cleopatra VII, Queen of Egypt in the 1st century BC, continues to fascinate scholars, critics, and general audiences alike. Her passionate love affair with the renowned Roman general, Mark Antony; their important influence on the Roman Empire; and their untimely, tragic deaths form the basis of this great play that combines tragedy, action, love story, and political intrigue all in one.
