TNGF
SELECTED
Mark Antony
primary
A once-powerful Roman general now lying weakened on a low couch, his muscular frame evident even in his diminished state. His tanned skin is pallid from blood loss, with a broad face bearing deep-set eyes and a strong jawline framed by short, graying dark hair. His thick neck and broad shoulders show remnants of his former strength, though his breathing is labored.
Cleopatra
primary
A striking woman in her late 30s, with a slender yet regal build. Her features are a blend of Greek and Egyptian heritage, with high cheekbones, a straight nose, and almond-shaped eyes. Her complexion is olive-toned, and her dark, wavy hair is adorned with golden pins and a diadem. Her eyes, lined with kohl, are filled with anguish.
Royal Physician
secondary
A middle-aged Egyptian man with a lean, wiry build, his dark skin weathered by years of service. His sharp, observant eyes are framed by deep wrinkles of concentration, and his short-cropped black hair shows streaks of gray. His hands are steady and precise, bearing the calluses of frequent tool use.
Slave Girl
background
A young Egyptian girl, approximately 14-16 years old, with a slender build and delicate features. Her dark hair is loosely tied back with a simple linen band, and her olive skin is flushed from silent weeping. Large, dark eyes glisten with unshed tears.
Dialog
Mark Antony
Cleopatra... my queen... the gates of Dis yawn for me, but I'll spit in Pluto's face before I go!
Cleopatra
By Isis' breath! Physician, staunch this wound or I'll have your hands severed at the wrists!
Mark Antony
Enough, my thea... Octavian's dogs have bitten too deep. Let me see your face... one last time.
Cleopatra
You swore to me, Antonius! Swore by Jupiter Capitolinus we'd stand together against Rome!
Mark Antony
A soldier knows... when the battle's lost. Save yourself... take the treasure... flee up the Nile...
Cleopatra
The Nile? Without you, the waters would turn to dust in my throat!
Mark Antony
Then make them pay... make them all pay... my Egyptian serpent...
