The celebrated wit of George Bernard Shaw makes sparkling comedy of political drama as veteran strategist Julius Caesar becomes mentor to the enchanting teenage queen of Roman-occupied Egypt. From her first timid encounter with Caesar under a desert moon, Cleopatra grows in strength to become a determined player in the game of power - but will she really learn what Caesar wants to teach her? Des McAnuff's 2008 production stars Christopher Plummer and Nikki M. James in the title roles.
