“Eternity was in our lips and eyes”
Two civilizations are torn apart by the force of history’s most enduring love story.
Renowned actress and director Janet Suzman directs a remarkable cast in Shakespeare’s epic tragedy of passion and power.
Kim Cattrall returns to her birthplace to play Cleopatra, one of the greatest roles in the Shakespearean canon, opposite Jeffery Kissoon as the once great warrior, Antony.
As East meets West, honour and desire collide in a sweeping tale of war, intrigue and passion. The story of a love that destroys an empire, Antony and Cleopatra is served by an extraordinary company that will bring Shakespeare’s kaleidoscopic vision and breath-taking poetry to stunning realisation.
Martin Hutson gave us an articulate and crisply-acted Octavius Caesar. Ian Hogg gives a forceful performance as Enobarbus
The Daily Express
Not only does Kim Cattrall make a fine, original Cleopatra. Janet Suzman’s production is both fast-moving and intelligent.
