Antony and Cleopatra

"It beggar'd all description."

Antony and Cleopatra is one of the great tragic stories of the clash between private passion and public lives.  Shakespeare's take on these historic lovers in fast-paced and engrossing.

Director Brant Eustice returns to Shakespeare after winning the Adelaide Critics Circle Coopers Award for outstanding individual achievement for his direction of the Theatre Guild's 2006 production of Julius Caesar.
