About This Production
The victors of Rome’s civil war have divided the Empire amongst themselves and Marc Antony has traveled to exotic Egypt to take up rule over his corner of the globe. There he encounters Egypt’s mysterious monarch, the irresistibly entrancing Cleopatra. Their impassioned affair ultimately pits their two countries against each other and will change the face of the ancient world forever.
Critic and Audience Reviews
-Audience FeedbackSet and costuming were amazing. Performances were very strong. Overall great production.
-Kimberly Moy, BWW.comThough it is a tragedy, Orlando Shakes production is glamorous, entertaining and extremely palatable. Casting, costumes, and classic story come together to make ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ the crown jewel of the season.
-Matt Palm, Orlando SentinelA host of relative newcomers to Orlando Shakespeare Theater brings ancient Egypt to the stage in the troupe’s appealing production of ‘Antony and Cleopatra.’
-Audience FeedbackIt was a first rate production. As good as any Broadway Show. I was drawn into the story. Marvelous!
