"...Christopher Plummer returns to the Stratford stage to take on the role of 'Julius Caesar' in George Bernard Shaw’s delightfully witty and seductive comedy "Caesar and Cleopatra", directed by the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s artistic director, Des McAnuff.
Nikki M. James plays the enchanting 'Cleopatra', a teenage queen who welcomes the mentorship of the veteran political strategist who now occupies her country. Their first encounter under a desert moon will lead to a shift in the course of history, as Cleopatra gradually overcomes her timidity to become a determined player in the game of power politics.
Mr. Plummer and Ms James lead a stellar cast, also featuring Diane D’Aquila as 'Ftatateeta', Peter Donaldson as 'Rufio', Timothy D. Stickney as 'Pothinus', Steven Sutcliffe as 'Britannus', and John Vickery as 'Lucius Septimius'..."
