Radio review – “Cleopatra – Last Queen of Egypt” (2008) by Joyce Tyldesley

Enjoyable re-tread of the life of a woman who would remain the most famous queen of them all. They try to go easy on her reputation as a man eater and on Anthony's rep as an idiot - there were political reasons for her to do what they did as well as passion. But of course Hollywood was going to dramatise the other stuff. And Anthony was still at the end of the day pretty stupid.
