The first act of the play revolves around the fate of Cleopatra, who is committed to safe custody under the rule of young Ptolomy and his advisor Photinus.

As the Romans prepare to invade Egypt, tensions mount, and the characters must navigate a dangerous web of alliances and betrayals. This play is a gripping exploration of the perils of ambition and the corrupting influence of power.
