About the show

For the first time in ten years Shakespeare’s epic story of love, duty and power unfolds in the Globe Theatre.

  • Rome is an empire ruled by men, but Egypt is a kingdom governed by a woman
  • Despite their different cultures, Roman general Antony falls for the beautiful Egyptian queen Cleopatra
  • Antony and Cleopatra experience passion which blazes across two continents, upsets the world order and risks putting thousands of lives in peril
  • Shakespeare’s blockbuster clash of cultures is direced by Blanche McIntyre (Measure for Measure; Twelfth Night: For One Night Only, Globe), with Associate Director Charlotte Arrowsmith (This is Going to Hurt, BBC) and features Nadia Nadarajah (Midnight Movie, Royal Court) as Cleopatra
