Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

National Theatre Live – Filmed Theatre Screening

Caesar and his assassins are dead. General Mark Antony now rules alongside his fellow defenders of Rome, but at the fringes of a war-torn empire, the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and Mark Antony have fallen fiercely in love. In a tragic fight between devotion and duty, obsession becomes a catalyst for war.

Director Simon Goodwin returns to National Theatre Live screens with this hotly anticipated production, following broadcasts of Twelfth Night, Man and Superman and The Beaux’ Stratagem.
