BWW Interview: Exclusive Scoop on The Public Theater's ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA with Charise Castro Smith

The Royal Shakespeare Company, Miami's Gablestage, and The Public Theater recently teamed up for a new production of Shakespeare's ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. This unique company has been cast in both the U.S. and the U.K., and comprises five actors from each country to make up the cast of Shakespeare's historical play of love and politics. Director Tarell Alvin McCraney has decided to put a new spin on this classic play, and he has set it in the late 1700s against the backdrop of Saint-Domingue, on the eve of the Haitian Revolution against the French, bringing to light vivid historical parallels with the story of Antony and Cleopatra. This exciting new production has already had two successful runs in Stratford-upon-Avon and Miami, and will begin its final run in New York at The Public Theater on February 18. BroadwayWorld recently had the opportunity to chat with Charise Castro Smith, who plays Octavia and Iras in this production, about this international collaboration, director Tarell Alvin McCraney, and more.
