SF Shakes Will Stage Free ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA as Part of Summer Park Series
San Francisco Shakespeare Festival has announced the cast for its upcoming summer production.
This summer's Free Shakespeare in the Park production of Antony and Cleopatra continues the company's season of Empire with one of Shakespeare's most complex and passionate tragedies, exploring themes of love, power, loyalty, and betrayal.
The play revolves around the political and romantic entanglements between Mark Antony, a Roman general, and Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt. Set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire and Egypt, the play examines the conflict between duty and desire, and the impact of personal relationships on political power.
