William Shakespeare

Antony & Cleopatra

Audio CD (BBC Worldwide, Ltd. and Blackstone Audio Sept. 1, 2014) , Audio Theater Edition
Kenneth Branagh and Alex Kingston star in Shakespeare's tragedy of love and power.

As part of BBC Radio 3's celebration of the 450th anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare, Kenneth Branagh and Alex Kingston star in this brand new production.

Lovers, politics, superstars. Antony & Cleopatra is Shakespeare's late and epic tragedy of mature love, and the catastrophic fall from grace and power that it brings about. Irresistibly drawn together, the couple are surrounded by friends, enemies, admirers, and critics, none of whom remain unscathed by the folly and heartbreak of this magnificent pair. As empires crash all around them, their destiny seems inevitable: to love each other 'til death and even beyond.

Produced by BBC Cymru Wales for BBC Radio 3, this production also features Geoffrey Streatfeild, Nigel Anthony, Don Gilet, and Peter Polycarpou among its cast.

Written by William Shakespeare / First broadcast by BBC Radio 3 on April 20, 2014 / Directed by Alison Hindell / Music composed by Elizabeth Purnell
