William Shakespeare's tragedy Antony & Cleopatra is presented as a fully staged book-in-hand theatrical reading directed by J.R. Sullivan. The play follows two figures of immense power whose story spans Egyptian palaces, Roman battlefields, and warships at sea, featuring verse described as sensuous, brutal, lyrical, and desperate. The cast includes Nick Sandys as Antony, Rebecca Swislow as Cleopatra, Jonathan Gillard Daly as Enobarbus, and Ryan Wright Cassidy as Octavius Caesar, among others. Music and sound design are by George Zahora.
