Antony & Cleopatra October 19, 2010

One of Shakespeare's greatest romantic tragedies comes to Hartford Stage. 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 affair. Critically acclaimed Shakespearean actor John Douglas Thompson portrays Mark Antony with 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!'
