Antony and Cleopatra-William Shakespeare

Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies:

a spectacular, widely-ranging drama of love and war, passion

and politics. Antony is divided between the responsibilities of

imperial power and the intensities of his sexual relationship

with Cleopatra. She, variously generous and ruthless, loving

and jealous, petulant and majestic, emerges as Shakespeare’s

most complex depiction of a woman:

‘Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety.’

Unsurpassed in sumptous eloquence and powerful character

isation, Anthony and Cleopatra deservedly retains its popularity

in the theatre. Its insights into the corruptions of power and

the ambiguities of desire remain timely.
