SHAKESPEARE’S iconic struggle between love and duty, Antony and Cleopatra, will be screened to Theatr Mwldan on Thursday (17th) at 7.15pm.
The third of the 2015 Globe On Screen cinema season’s Roman tragedies, Antony & Cleopatra picks up Antony’s story many years after Julius Caesar.
Virtue and vice, love and politics combine in Shakespeare’s greatest exploration of the conflicting claims of sex and power, all expressed in a tragic poetry of breathtaking beauty and magnificence.
The Globe’s 2014 envisioning of this iconic play encapsulates these themes whilst deftly threading a sense of comedy throughout.
Based on one of the most famous relationships in history, it explores the affair between Antony, at the height of his power, and Cleopatra, the alluring and fascinatingly ambiguous Queen of Egypt.
