Antony and Cleopatra, one of Shakespeare’s better known tragedies, opens the 55th Shakespeare season at Maynardville Open-Air Theatre on January 16, 2010. This production is presented by Artscape.

Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra is a play of epic proportions. Spanning a ten year period of high drama and politics and covering most of the Mediterranean world, Antony and Cleopatra is considered not only Shakespeare’s most luxuriant tragedy, but was written by the poet at the height of his literary powers and gives rise to some of his most sensual poetry.

Starts 16 January 2010.
