Antony and Cleopatra

The Roman general Mark Antony, torn between his duty in Rome and his love for Cleopatra of Egypt, is drawn into war with Octavius Caesar. The play follows the lovers from the feasts of Alexandria to the defeat at Actium and the monument where each chooses death over capture. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
