Antony and Cleopatra are not the young crossed star lovers like Romeo and Juliet. These are mature adults.
As a pair they are heroic, majestic and superhuman, yet they are also mean, monstrous and cowardly.
Shakespeare presents them individually and as a pair.
In Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare focuses on the story of two powerful leaders, Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt who is indebted to the Roman Empire and governed by them, and Mark Antony, one of the three pillars of the Roman Empire which had three rulers as a result of Julius Caesar’s assassination.
While the play explores these characters’ personal relationships it also brings to life the complicated political negotiations and interactions that followed this period.
This is a play about love, power, duty, honour, jealousy, betrayal, death and desire
During this workshop, teachers will go through a wide range of activities, techniques and strategies that will foster student involvement and allow them not only to take action but become part of the action, establishing the world, key themes and images, telling the story, discovering characters and exploring language. This pack of activities will provide the students a better understanding of the play and its context.
