Antonius ja Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

"Antonius ja Cleopatra" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy first performed around 1607. The play follows the passionate relationship between Roman triumvir Mark Antony and Egypt's Queen Cleopatra, set against the backdrop of political power struggles in the Roman Republic.
