Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It was first printed in the First Folio of 1623.
The plot is based on Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Life of Markus Antonius and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Parthian War to Cleopatra's suicide. The major antagonist is Octavius Caesar, one of Antony's fellow triumvirs and the future first emperor of Rome. The tragedy is a Roman play characterized by swift, panoramic shifts in geographical locations and in registers, alternating between sensual, imaginative Alexandria and the more pragmatic, austere Rome. Many consider the role of Cleopatra in this play one of the most complex female roles in Shakespeare's work. She is frequently vain and histrionic, provoking an audience almost to scorn; at the same time, Shakespeare's efforts invest both her and Antony with tragic grandeur. These contradictory features have led to famously divided critical responses.

Macbeth was exactly as I expected it to be, a fast read filled with intrigues, murder and suspense.
The way Lady Macbeth and Macbeth himself turn into these greedy people, because they get a glimpse of the power they could have and instantly do everything to become the most powerful, was fascinating. The storyline was really good and you kept waiting for Macbeth's downfall. I especially enjoyed reading this tragedy in the STAGED limited edition, because the pages are designed with a lot of space for notes and the design in general is just amazing!
