The activity for Tuesday 31 March...

to read and translate the plot (argumento) of the play "Cleopatra":

Before dying, Pharaoh Ptolemy, the King of Egypt, hands the
Sacred Key to Cleopatra, his young daughter. This key is
very special as it unlocks the secret chamber in the Temple
and the person who possesses it is the rightful king or queen.
This causes a deep resentment in Cleopatra’s sister,
Arsinoe, who feels she should have been the one to receive the
Sacred Key, and so starts planning how to get hold of it.
Bored and tired of her life within the palace walls, one day
Cleopatra decides to go out. She wants to see the real world
and it’s people, and she is clever enough to pass unnoticed by
Arsinoe. It is then that Cleopatra meets Bek and becomes
his friend. Bek is just a working boy but Cleopatra shares
with him the simplest but most beautiful things of life.
At the palace, Arsinoe convinces Appi, one of the servants,
to pass himself off as Juba, the King of Numidia. Arsinoe
plans to marry Cleopatra to this fake king. By law, Cleopatra
has to give the Sacred Key to her husband, so Arsinoe and
Appi sign an agreement which forces him to hand the key
over to Arsinoe in exchange for turning him into a king.
Arsinoe tricks Cleopatra into believing that her nation is in
desperate need of food supplies, and that there is only one
way to save the people from starvation: King Juba has
offered to send the food Egypt needs, but only if Cleopatra
marries him. Cleopatra is filled with deep sorrow because
if she marries King Juba she will not see Bek again.
In the end, in order to save her people, she decides to put
her personal life aside and marry Juba. Arsinoe and Appi
celebrate in advance the success of their plan and make
the arrangements for the wedding.
But in the fantastic and mysterious Egyptian world,
surprises still await...
Good luck!!
With love,
Leda
