Stratford Festival: Antony and Cleopatra

Directed by Barry Avrich and Gary Griffin

With Yanna McIntosh, Ben Carlson, Geraint Wyn Davies, Tom McCamus and Sean Arbuckle

Reason and judgement prove no match for the tsunami of mutual passion engulfing Mark Antony, one of the three joint rulers of the Roman republic, and Cleopatra, the seductive queen of Egypt. Surrendering everything to their desires, they open the floodgates to a civil conflict that will shake the very foundations of their world.
