Hartford Stage Presents ANTONY & CLEOPATRA, 10/7

ANTONY & CLEOPATRA will run Oct 7-Nov 7 at Hartford Stage.

Directed by Tina Landau, ANTONY & CLEOPATRA is one of Shakespeare's greatest romantic tragedies.

A story of the love and loss that gave birth to an empire. A Roman General and an Egyptian Queen, Mark Antony and Cleopatra are great leaders of their time who share a passion for each other-but at a price. Power, politics and betrayal overshadow their doomed and legendary affiair.

Joining critically acclaimed Shakespearean actor John Douglas Thompson as Mark Antony is the incomparable Kate Mulgrew (Broadway's Equus, TV's Star Trek: Voyager and Ryan's Hope) as Cleopatra, returning to Hartford Stage for the first time since her memorable portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in Tea at Five!
