The Royal Shakespeare Company reinterprets the famous scribe's epic love story set against a backdrop of national politics. Heartbreakingly tragic, this classic tale is filled with deceit and betrayal at every turn, with the battle against Pompey looming over the heads of Antony (Richard Johnson), Octavius Caesar (Corin Redgrave) and Lepidus even as the love between Antony and Cleopatra (Janet Suzman) grows. Patrick Stewart co-stars as Enobarbus.
