About the Play

Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It was performed first around 1607 at the Blackfriars Theatre or the Globe Theatre. Its first appearance in print was in the Folio of 1623.

The Plot

Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare’s great historical love stories. Antony is captivated by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Gossip and scandal leads to plots of murder and battles. Read more about the play from the RSC website.
