Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

“Let Rome in Tiber melt...” A power couple for the ages, Antony and Cleopatra are locked in a bitter struggle between their personal relationship and their responsibilities to the world stage. A story told out o’ time, in the here and now. Antony and Cleopatra; what do you conjure up in your imagination when you hear their names? Destiny, it seems, has doomed the pair of lovers to a tragic end. “...Saucy lictors / Will catch at us like strumpets, and scald rhymers / Ballad us out o’ time. The quick comedians / Extemporally will stage us and present, Our Alexandrian revels.”
