Queen of the East

Cleopatra’s Ancient Egyptian adventure, filled with music, mythology, and misleading puppets.

Suitable for All Ages

The year is 32 BCE.

Egypt is in ruins – corrupted by three centuries of male tyranny.

Until… Cleopatra VII, the last Queen to ever rule Egypt, fixed her eyes on the empire.

A faraway Ancient Egyptian adventure of music, mythology, and misleading puppets. Join history’s most legendary leaders, Cleopatra VII, Julius Cesar, and Marc Antony, on a voyage of discovery, whose story can we trust, and whose lives must be lost?

This award-winning, family-friendly musical is a DoDo DRAMATICS original. DoDo DRAMATICS is the UK’s first zero-waste puppetry performance company, distinctive for our ambitious up-cycled set design.
