We are delighted to have the opportunity to share this story of two great historical figures and to bring another epic Roman drama to the Folger. In the case of this production, the conversion of the theater allows the central playing space to become almost like a gladiatorial arena, where you can experience the temperature of the room rise as the relationships heat. It allows us to see clearly these larger-than-life personalities and become a part of the action. Perhaps Antony and Cleopatra is best known as a love story. Shakespeare begins the play in the tail-spin of the title characters’ relationship, allowing us a glimpse of the good times that must have come before. There is a distinct emotional connection between the two central characters that sets them apart. They seem to need each other to survive, and they eat, sleep, and breathe their love for each other in way which in modern times might be viewed as headed for destruction. It is a love where their personal feelings for each other, and the public perception of their love, cloud their ability to identify and take the best course of action as world leaders. Our approach to this story has been to discover the humanity written within the scope of Antony and Cleopatra. A chance to display the hidden intimacies and 6
vulnerabilities available in the text. We have chosen to make the public stories private and private scenes public. This production sets out to gain an understanding of how enigmatic leaders making rash decisions can change the course of history, and how human drama can shape the world. The conclusion of Antony and Cleopatra is, without doubt, a tragic end to these magnificent people. In their last moments together, they realize the depth of their love, and they take comfort in meeting once again in a life after death. Shakespeare seems to leave us with redemption—that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. We are also witness to personal sacrifice that true leadership requires. We hope you enjoy being at the center of it all. –Robert Richmond

FROM THE DRAMATURG The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare’s mature plays, which may account for the richness as well as the peculiarities on offer. Praised for monumental poetry and its multiple perspectives, the play also curiously defies the genre embraced in its title. It presents somewhat startling comedic moments and showcases heroes who exploit the boundaries of character as rashly as they do the territories of their ancient world. Our impulses either to champion or condemn the heroes swell and crash in an instant. It’s not for the faint of heart. Matters of the heart are the presumed center of the drama and we learn quickly that hearts as fiery as these attract matter of all sorts. Some reckon Antony and Cleopatra to be the greatest lovers in history; Shakespeare’s couple would have us believe so. Their amorous displays are the talk of towns east and west of the Mediterranean. To Cleopatra, Antony is “infinite virtue.” He hails her as his “conqueror.” And yet, even with such lyrics, these rock stars of antiquity seem most enamored of themselves. Each is addicted to the other’s flattery—a fix to stoke self-worth—but their words are rarely as potent as their actions. Too often the events played out on stage betray some spoken vow. The stage on which Cleopatra and Antony showcase their celebrity spans the world as they know it. Scenes move from Alexandria to 8
Rome, and back again. Privacy eludes the lovers. Director Robert Richmond’s transformation of the theater for this production is a gesture toward intimacy within the all-toopublic arena in which the couple circulates. Their influence on the ancient world is reflected in Tony Cisek’s revolving, circular playing space—a globe marked by a symbol of Egypt set atop a Roman shield. We’re reminded by these symbols of each lover’s broader obligations. Always Antony and Cleopatra are greater than themselves, which perhaps explains those choices that fly in the face of adoration. Cleopatra is called “Egypt”; Antony is a “mate in empire.” The two seem for the majority of acts to enjoy their larger-than-life distinction; these are people acclimated to prominence and to excess. Plutarch faults Antony for excess in his Life of Marcus Antonius, the source for Shakespeare’s play (courtesy of Th. North’s translations). Though Plutarch specifically condemns Antony for doting excessively on Egypt’s queen, it’s clear in the Life that Antony was ever inclined toward indulgence. Shakespeare, so critical of excess in plays such as Measure for Measure, ennobles the hero’s shortcoming by offering excess as a symptom of virtue as well as of vice. Antony variously demonstrates a willingness to risk all, a characteristic essential
to Roman honor; it’s evidence of his “fire in the bones” (Barton). Such fire in Shakespeare’s play is restricted neither to Rome nor to men. According to Carlin A. Barton, Roman honor required the same “will, determination, and effective energy” of women. Characteristics of honor include a range of emotion, an expenditure of energy, spirit following disaster, a sensitivity to shame, a desire to be seen, the ability to “make faces,” and a drive toward truth (Barton). Antony and Cleopatra confirm their competence in heaps. The contest culture that gave rise to the quest for honor informs the lovers’ practices. These two are game players. We see them have a go at dress-up, play-acting, hide-and-seek, and high-stakes
rounds of truth-or-dare. For both, confronting hard truths about themselves and their limitations is the ultimate challenge. Part of the play’s tragedy is the loss that comes when the mighty discover they are merely human. Part of the play’s pleasure is the generosity that awareness provokes. Until the last, Cleopatra, herself “[n]o more but e’en a woman,” preserves Antony as a kind of God, though we sense that she knows better: “Think you there was or might be such a man / As this I dreamt of?” The text denies any affirmation. But we detect the hope inside the question and admire the spirit that inspires the dream and the imagination that raises it. –Michele Osherow
SYNOPSIS Antony and Cleopatra tells the story of a romance between two powerful leaders: Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, and Mark Antony, who rules the Roman Empire with Octavius Caesar and Lepidus.
reconcile them, but fails. Antony returns to Cleopatra. He challenges Octavius Caesar at sea, adding Cleopatra’s ships to his own. When she and her navy flee in mid-battle, Antony follows, abandoning his men.
Although he is needed in Rome, Antony lingers in Egypt with Cleopatra. He finally returns to Rome when Pompey, another military leader, tries to gain control of the empire. Once in Rome, to prove loyalty, Antony marries Octavius Caesar’s sister Octavia.
Antony fails in a second battle at sea. At first, he blames Cleopatra and plans to kill her. He responds to false news of her death, however, by attempting suicide; fatally wounded, he reunites with her as he dies. Faced with Octavius Caesar’s plans to humiliate her in Rome, Cleopatra kills herself with poisonous snakes.
After Pompey is defeated, Octavius Caesar imprisons Lepidus and turns on Antony. Octavia attempts to

Folger Theatre Folger Shakespeare Library, opened in 1932, featured the first replica in North America of an Elizabethan theater, a 250-seat space designed to suggest the innyard playing spaces. Founders Henry and Emily Folger envisioned it as a place for the performance of the plays in Shakespeare’s style, and the first nationally televised broadcast of a Shakespeare play in the US was Julius Caesar from the Folger stage in 1949. Folger Theatre produces seasons of Shakespeare, other plays from the period of the Folger’s rare collection, and new work, including commissions, inspired by the period. Including award-winning stagings of more than 70 percent of Shakespeare’s canon, as well as classical and Restoration work, Folger Theatre premiered the original Shakespeare for My Father, Lynn Redgrave’s reminiscence of her theatrical family, as well as Roger Rees’ What You Will; co-produced Teller and Aaron Posner’s magical Macbeth, released on video; was the first Washington venue to present a production from Shakespeare’s Globe; and has collaborated with the Classical Theatre of Harlem, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, The Guthrie, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, and other theaters across the country. Folger Theatre is the recipient of 30 Helen Hayes Awards including for Outstanding Resident
Production for Sense and Sensibility, The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, and Measure for Measure.
