Cleo

Daisy Chain Media Management (New Zealand)

An exciting feminist reimagining of a woman long reduced to myth. New musical Cleo reclaims the story of Cleopatra VII, following her rise from teenage Queen to one of history’s most formidable political leaders. Forced to rule beside her brother and later driven into exile, Cleopatra refuses erasure, and returns to Egypt to reclaim her throne through intelligence, strategy, and determination. Cleo is not a story of seduction, but of power. Navigating alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, Cleopatra restores her place in history by balancing love, ambition, and survival to fight for her children and her kingdom.
