​A New look at an old story

​​Director Jacky Crosher.

​

Antony and Cleopatra -   disentangled for a modern audience.
The story exposes a world of power struggles entwined with the stormy love affair between Cleopatra, the Egyptian Queen and Mark Antony, Roman General. The play is a witty comedic history wrapped round a tragic romance; it juxtaposes the old with the new, the clash between the personal and the political.

This fast-paced version, adapted and directed by Jacky Crosher for
Shakespeare Live, spins a new twist on this less-performed work.

An ensemble cast unpick the plot and text using both modern and original language. A glorious re-working of this wonderful play.
