SYNOPSIS

This is a story about a Infinitely vain highly intelligent QUEEN CLEOPATRA 7th, who lives in a very 'male controlled world', very much a lonely position, where a woman needs to be cunning, a gambler, beautiful, seductive, and mother and a killer if need be. It's a story where she struggles to hold onto her crown, wary her husband-brother Ptolemy Advisors and their schemes to take her from the throne.

When it looks like she will soon lose her head, she gets her servants to spirit her out of her palace at night – hidden in a rolled-up rug. Once safely on the road in the desert with a small contingent of loyal servants, she struggles to raise an army to retake her throne. Cleopatra, unused to desert life is forced to put up with hardships and indignities her privileged upbringing has ill prepared her for. On top of that, she’s forced to stoop to dealing with the lowly desert King AZAR to find an army for her cause.

Just when she succeeds in raising an army, Cleopatra learns that the Romans, led by Julius Caesar, have intervened in Egypt. Carried in the rolled-up rug, Cleopatra returns to throw herself at Caesar’s mercy.
