Description
The Rhode Island Shakespeare Theater presents William Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra at the Roger Williams National Memorial.
After the death of Julius Caesar, the Roman Empire is ruled by three men: Mark Antony, Octavius Caesar, and Lepidus.
Mark Antony is in love with Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Antony is summoned back to Rome, where he clashes with another ruler Octavius before returning to Cleopatra in Egypt. Political intrigue, betrayal, in Rome follow. Antony and Cleopatra suffer losses and miscommunication and eventually battle, with dire consequences for all involved.
The show runs, weather permitting, outside at the Roger Williams National Memorial, 282 North Main Street in Providence, RI. Bring a lawn-chair, a blanket and refreshments and enjoy an amazing and entertaining evening under the stars, with the stars of this show.
