Description
Summary:	Kim Cattrall discusses William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra with Janet Suzman, Harriet Walker and Vanessa Redgrave to uncover the truth behind this astonishing love story. Antony and Cleopatra are no lovesick juveniles; they are mature, heroic, real political figures--dangerous roles to write, let alone to play. Shakespeare closely copied the language of a Roman historian to describe Cleopatra's beauty; today he might be at risk for plagiarism.
