Open Call Casting for Cheryl E. Kemerovo Cleopatra – A Life Unparalleled on Friday, March 20th, 2009 from 10am - 3pm at Ripley Grier Studios (520 Eighth Avenue 17th Floor). Although many in Egypt wanted to fight the Roman invaders, Cleopatra realized the futility of such an action. Rather she wanted Egypt to become part of the Roman Empire, enjoying its protection, while remaining a power in its own right. This required her to form an alliance with Julius Caesar (using her own body as collateral). Soon after Cleopatra saw her protector cruelly snatched away, she found new opportunities (and love) in the arms of Marc Antony.
