[alert-primary] Super Short Summary [/alert-primary]

         Serapion, an Isis priest, begins the play by mentioning recent dark omens in nature. Alexas, Cleopatra's eunuch, says this is nonsense and worries about her relationship with Antony.
        Serapion throws a birthday feast for Antony when Ventidius comes to fetch him. Ventidius wants to lure Antony back to Rome by promising him a legion in Syria if he leaves Cleopatra behind. Ventidius doesn't take no for an answer and convinces Antony to leave Cleopatra and join the Romans.
        Antony's departure upsets Cleopatra. Alexas brings Antony a bracelet for her. Alexas tells Antony to have Cleopatra fasten the bracelet when he can't. Antony is dissuaded from leaving Egypt by Cleopatra. She tells him she refused Octavius' offer because she loves him.
        Ventidius urges Antony to leave Egypt. He brings Dolabella and Antony's wife, Octavia, and daughters to convince him to return to Rome. Antony banished Dolabella for falling for Cleopatra, but he's forgiven him now. Octavia convinces Antony to return to Rome and confronts Cleopatra.
        Antony plans to leave Egypt and sends Dolabella to tell Cleopatra. When Dolabella visits Cleopatra, she and Alexas plan to make Antony jealous by seducing Dolabella to lure him back.
        Cleopatra's attempts to seduce Dolabella are unsuccessful. Ventidius and Octavia see Dolabella with the Egyptian queen and tell Antony. Antony is heartbroken but still wants to believe the best of Cleopatra, which offends Octavia, who leaves him. Antony doesn't believe Dolabella and Cleopatra that there was no affair.
        Antony leads his troops in battle against Caesar, but they greet the Romans as friends and turn against Egypt. Cleopatra flees Egypt's doom, leaving Alexas behind. Alexas tells Antony Cleopatra killed herself to save himself. Antony and Ventidius commit suicide, heartbroken. Cleopatra rushes after hearing Alexas' lie as Antony dies. After Antony dies in her arms, Cleopatra asks Charmion and Iras for aspics so she can be bitten and die. Snake bites kill her and her two attendants.
