Antony and Cleopatra

“Let Rome in Tiber melt,” Antony declares, as if an empire were no more than clay beside Cleopatra’s embrace. But a messenger waits with news from Rome—and even the Queen knows how quickly a Roman thought can strike.

In Alexandria’s palace, amid music, teasing and the languor of Egypt, Mark Antony has turned his gaze from the duties of a Roman commander to Cleopatra, whose every passion seems to command the room. Yet Rome is calling, its rival rulers are watching, and news of war and loss soon makes their private world impossible to keep apart from public power. Antony must choose where his loyalty lies, while Cleopatra tests whether love can hold a man who belongs to an empire. When desire and duty both demand everything, which will Antony answer?
