Shakespeare's ANTONY & CLEOPATRA
July 7th 2008 02:25
Directed by Brant Eustice
Director Brant Eustice returns to Shakespeare after winning the Adelaide Critics Circle Coopers Award for outstanding individual achievement for his direction of the Theatre Guild's 2006 production of Julius Caesar.
ATG did a successful production of this play for their 50thAnniversary in 1988. That production was the first in Adelaide for 50 years – since 1938, the year ATG was founded. Twenty years on, and we don't think anyone has performed it since!
"It beggar'd all description."
Antony and Cleopatra is one of the great tragic stories of the clash between private passion and public lives. Shakespeare's take on these historic lovers in fast-paced and engrossing.
Featuring Simon Davey as Antony and Emily Branford as Cleopatra; with Bart Csorba, Geoff Dawes, Matthew Dowdall, Nick Ely, Gary George, David Jobling, Simon Lancione, Delia Obst, Cate Rogers, Tony Sampson, Matt Scales, Graham Self, Russell Slater and Eleanor Stankiewicz.
Design is by Cassandra Backler, with Lighting Design by Christopher Kemp.
The play was last performed by the Theatre Guild for its 50th anniversary in 1998, and we are delighted to present it again for our 70th year.
