Caesar and Cleopatra is a play written by George Bernard Shaw that depicts a fictionalized account of the relationship between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. Shaw wanted to prove that it was not love but politics that drew Cleopatra to Julius Caesar. He sees the Roman occupation of ancient Egypt as similar to the British occupation that was occurring during his time. Caesar understands the importance of good government, and values these things above art and love.
