Antony+Cleopatra at The Theater at Monmouth

Reason and judgement prove no match for the tsunami of mutual passion engulfing Mark Antony, one of the three joint rulers of the Roman Republic, and Cleopatra, the powerful Queen of Egypt. Surrendering everything to their desires, they open the floodgates to a civil conflict that will shake the very foundations of their world. Shakespeares dark and intimate portrait of this storied affair features some of the most transcendent poetry on love and loss in the cannon.
