This book writes a performance history of Antony and Cleopatra,
Shakespeare's most ambiguous play, from 1606 to the present. It
observes the choices that actors, directors, designers, musicians
and adapters have made each time they have brought the play's
thoughts on power, race, masculinity, regime change, exoticism,
love, dotage and delinquency into alignment with a new present.
Informed by close attention to theatre records - promptbooks, stage
managers' reports, reviews - it offers in-depth analyses of fifteen
international productions by (among others) the Royal Shakespeare
Company, Citizens Theatre Glasgow, Northern Broadsides, Berliner
Ensemble and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. It ends seeing Shakespeare's
black Egyptian Queen Cleopatra - whited-out in performance for
centuries - restored to the contemporary stage. Written in a lively
and accessible style, this book will be of interest to students,
academics, actors, directors and general readers alike. -- .
