Antony and Cleopatra

One of Shakespeare’s great tragedies—a sweeping tale of politics, passion and power set against the backdrop of ancient Rome and Egypt.

At its heart is the doomed love between Mark Antony, a Roman general torn between duty and desire, and Cleopatra, the fiercely intelligent and magnetic Queen of Egypt. Their romance is as intoxicating as it is destructive, drawing them into a web of political intrigue and betrayal. As Antony’s loyalty to Rome falters, and Cleopatra’s motives are questioned, their bond is tested by war, honor and shifting alliances.

With its grand scale, poetic intensity, and unforgettable characters, Antony and Cleopatra explores the collision of empire and emotion, East and West, and the tragic cost of loving too much and too boldly.
