Antony and Cleopatra: Or, Love Hath Broughteth Wareth
Could Antony and Cleopatra be a story of the first love triangle-ish?? This play is not funny. It's a drama. More of a historical, political play. It's pretty tragic and full of anger and war. But it brings in some great complex characters, particularly the enigma that is Cleopatra. Despite her interesting and complex character, the play is a bit of a slog to get through and seeing it on stage would definitely be more intriguing than reading it.
The ultimate star-cross'd lovers... was their "affair" really at the heart of the Roman discord and wars? Caesar, whaddya say?
