Description
This book is a play by the Irish playwright Bernard Shaw, which provides a dramatic interpretation of the relationship between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra in Egypt. The play is a work of historical fiction, but it is not a traditional tragedy or historical drama; instead, Shaw uses the historical setting to explore political and philosophical themes.
The play depicts Caesar not as a heroic figure but as an elderly, pragmatic leader, and Cleopatra as a young, impetuous girl who matures under his guidance. The “Definitive Text” edition ensures the reader is getting the most accurate version of Shaw’s work.
