“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall”
Shakespeare’s dark comedy leads a compelling season by posing controversial ideas and by exploring the corrupting nature of power. Director Jonathan Munby (STC’s 2009 hit, The Dog in The Manger) returns to direct this play of ethics and morality.
Recommended for ages 18 and above but may be suitable for mature audiences, 16 and above. Contains partial nudity, violent and adult situations.
This performance contains herbal cigarette smoke and theatrical haze.
Please note: This performance starts with a pre-show cabaret 20 minutes before show time. We invite you to arrive early to experience this exciting prologue. Those patrons arriving after the performance starts will be asked to wait in the lobby until the appropriate late-seating break.
ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
By William Shakespeare
Edited and Directed by Tarell Alvin McCraney
February 18 – March 23, 2014
In an exciting international collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company and GableStage, Miami, The Public welcomes back writer/director Tarell Alvin McCraney (The Brother/Sister Plays) as its new artist in residence with ANTONY & CLEOPATRA. At the fringes of a war-torn empire, a man and a woman have fallen desperately, passionately in love. But for a soldier set to enforce the imperial will and the queen of a people intent on throwing off the yoke of empire, there is no place for personal desire. McCraney creates a stripped down, radical new version of Shakespeare’s gripping story of romance set against a world of imperial politics and power play and transports us to 18th century, sun-soaked Saint-Domingue on the eve of revolution. RSC in America is presented in collaboration with The Ohio State University.
