Synopsis - Antony and Cleopatra

Mark Antony, one of the Triumviri of Rome has neglected his soldierly duties after being beguiled by Egypt's Queen, Cleopatra. He ignores Rome's domestic problems. Octavius calls Antony back to Rome from Alexandria. Cleopatra begs Antony not to go, and though he repeatedly affirms his love for her, he eventually leaves. Back in Rome, Caesar convinces Antony to marry his sister, Octavia, in order to cement the bond between the two men.

In Egypt, Cleopatra learns of Antony's marriage, and takes furious revenge upon the messenger that brought her the news. Antony returns to Alexandria, Egypt, and crowns Cleopatra and himself as rulers of Egypt and the eastern third of the Roman Empire.

Antony prepares to battle Octavius. Enobarbus urges Antony to fight on land, where he has the advantage, instead of by sea, where the navy of Octavius is lighter, more mobile and better manned. Antony refuses, since Octavius has dared him to fight at sea. Cleopatra pledges her fleet to aid Antony. However, in the middle of the battle, Cleopatra flees with her sixty ships, and Antony follows her, leaving his army to ruin.

Turmoil persues, battles and plotics, love and passion continue to move the lifes of both Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. Finally Cleopartra despairs and takes her own life, Mark Anthony tries to kill himslef, only half succeeds and finally dies in the arms of the already dead Cleopatra.
