Caesar and Cleopatra by George Bernard Shaw
3.0
George Bernard Shaw was such a vile, bitter man. It's fascinating to me how he chose to utilise his (undeniable) talent.
This play is unfortunately one of Shaw's best. The imagery is simply superb: Caesar in the desert at night speaking to the statue of the sphinx, the young Cleopatra nestled between its stone paws. Although I don't necessarily like the portrayal of either Julius Caesar or Cleopatra VII, I love the play itself.
