Show #2:  Battle of Philosophies--or of The Sexes??

Cleopatra uses her captivating powers of persuasion to refute the notion that it is a “man’s world.”   She delightfully defends the preeminence of royalty against Thomas Paine’s egalitarian views.  The Queen of Egypt then charmingly chides President Theodore Roosevelt for being a reluctant American Imperialist while seductively flouting Aquinas’s conception that Virtue is the perfection of power.
