Summary

Mark Antony, one of the three rulers of the Roman world, has become the thrall of the fascinating Cleopatra. Affairs of state call him to Rome, but the attractions of the queen of Egypt prove impossible to resist. From one of history's greatest love stories Shakespeare builds this magnificent tragedy of the clash between love and duty.

Cleopatra is played by Estelle Kohler, Mark Antony by Ciaran Hinds, Ian Hughes is Octavious Caesar, and David Burke is Domitius Enobarbus.

Usual high standard production.

Was somewhat bemused by the strong regional accents, notably from Northern Ireland and Scotland used by a couple of cast members. Also found Cleopatra extremely annoying, but this series is so superb that it never deserves less than 4 stars, usually 5. Enjoyed this less than the others I have listened to but perhaps that it is because the play seems somewhat overlong and long winded at times.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
