Antony & Cleopatra at Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival

Join us beneath the stars for Antony and Cleopatra and feel the heat of a love story that shaped the fate of nations.

Love and empire collide in Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra, performed outdoors in Flagstaff’s crisp mountain air. This actor-driven production follows the legendary romance between Rome’s most powerful general and Egypt’s magnetic queen—a passion that sparks both devotion and downfall.

With original staging practices, the play comes alive just as it did in Shakespeare’s day: accompanied by live music that sets the mood and heightens the drama, and spoken in a way that makes the poetry clear, direct, and easy to follow. Every scene is alive with energy, every word resonates, and the story unfolds with an intimacy you can feel.
