	Antony and Cleopatra
		Cleopatra and her supporters made much use of prophecies in an attempt to convince the superstitious population of Egypt and of the Roman East that a new age would dawn under the rule of Cleopatra Isis-Venus and Antony Dionysus-Osiris.
		In exchange for providing Antony with funds and material, Cleopatra demanded (and was granted) the execution of her sister Arsinoe, the pretender Ptolemy VIV and of the admiral Sarapion, all of whom threatened both her own crown and the throne she hoped to pass to her children.
		Cleopatra and Antony’s youngest child, Ptolemy Philadelphos, often portrayed in Macedonian garb, was awarded Syria, Cilicia and the area between the Euphrates and the Hellespont.

	Antony and Cleopatra
		When he summoned Cleopatra VII of Egypt, she sailed up the river Cydnus aboard a luxurious barge, on which she lay dressed like the goddess of love; the rumour spread that Venus was come to feast with Bacchus, for the common good of Asia.
		Shakespeare reduces Cleopatra's share of guilt in the fatal battle of Actium: in Plutarch she persuades Antony to fight at sea against his better judgement; in the play it is Antony who decides to fight at sea*.
		Like Elizabeth I, Cleopatra VII was a powerful ruler in her own right; it is a measure of Shakespeare's independence from his source that he created her as a woman of great strength as well as of fascination*.

	Antony, Octavian, Cleopatra
		Antony finally departed for his Parthian campaign, but en route he met Cleopatra in Syria, and she presented him with the twins she had borne him after he left for Brundisium; he acknowledged the children, naming the boy Alexander Helios and the girl Cleopatra Selene.
		Antony made the “Donations of Alexandria,”; giving away many territories of the Roman East to Cleopatra and her children, declaring Caesarion Caesar's legal heir, and formally divorcing Octavia, sending an official notice to Rome that she and his children were to leave his house.
		Octavian's general was the shrewd Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, and Antony was hampered by defections among his officers and the presence of Cleopatra on her flagship, which his Roman soldiers deeply resented.

	DVD Verdict Review - Antony And Cleopatra
		Antony and Cleopatra is an unusual tragedy in that its protagonists start out flawed and gradually grow to heroic stature over the course of the play.
		Cleopatra is a difficult role for any actress to live up to due to her legendary seductive quality and her "infinite variety"—her paradoxical mixture of childishness and queenliness, selfishness and intelligence, arrogance and whimsy.
		She makes us believe in Cleopatra as a real woman, and she convinces us that even without great beauty (for the historical Cleopatra is known to have seduced with her mind rather than her physical gifts) she is a beguiling presence.

		Antony is so ashamed of this that he rages against Cleopatra, who, strangely, offers no reason for her desertion, merely stating shock that Antony followed her.
		Antony was clearly not in love with Fulvia, however upon hearing of her death, he remarks "There's a great spirit gone!" and regrets that he had wished her out of the way.
		Cleopatra seems especially gratified to hear that Octavia is widowed and that she has a too-round face, because "For the most part, too, they are foolish that are so." She asks the messenger's pardon for her former abuse and gives him gold.

	Shakespeare's Sources for Antony and Cleopatra
		The market-place was quite emptied, and Antony at last was left alone sitting upon the tribunal; while the word went through all the multitude, that Venus was come to feast with Bacchus, for the common good of Asia.
		She, perceiving that his raillery was broad and gross, and savoured more of the soldier than the courtier, rejoined in the same taste, and fell into it at once, without any sort of reluctance or reserve.
		Antony was so captivated by her that, while Fulvia his wife maintained his quarrels in Rome against Caesar by actual force of arms, and the Parthian troops, commanded by Labienus (the king's generals having made him commander-in-chief), were assembled in Mesopotamia...

		Antony dies in his lover's arms, and rather than submit to Roman rule under the new Caesar (Octavius), the heart-broken Cleopatra asks to have a poisonous snake delivered to her in a basket of figs.
		Antony's anger against Caesar, when he finally does take action and go against him in war, does not seem that justified because we aren't given much in the way of grounds for his anger.
		Cleopatra's character is one-dimensional also; she seems to just lay around and ponder what life is about and ask around about Antony to her many servants.

	Antony and Cleopatra
		Before Antony and Cleopatra enter, the text prepares us for 'a gypsy' and 'a strumpet's fool'; the opening procession provides them with a superbly theatrical opportunity to display that lust of which Hall spoke and to establish an Egyptian court suffused with it.
		Her court shadow Cleopatra's every move, including crowding in behind her like a flock of birds when, dignity shaken, she rushes for the door on hearing that Octavia is younger than she.
		It had seemed to confront Antony and Cleopatra with the inescapable truth of their relationship: that she has the superior strength and that he is tied to her every move.

		Opposite LaPotaire, Colin Blakely's Antony is a creature of appetitites, a bit clueless in the way men are clueless, and not quite certain that he is as, ahem, manly as his distinguished predecessor (one way that you know that Cleopatra has still got it is that Antony goes so squiggly giggly in her presence).

		The tragic love story of ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, although surrounded by war and negotiations, ends in a manner befitting Romeo and Juliet.
		In the end, like Juliet, Cleopatra fakes her death to which the distraught Antony tries to kill himself; I guess he learned that from Romeo as well.
		ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA is not the greatest Shakespeare story but this Trevor Nunn production is great.

		Cleopatra's whole character is the triumph of the voluptuous, of the love of pleasure and the power of giving over every other consideration.
		The latter scenes of ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA are full of the changes of accident and passion.
		Antony's headstrong presumption and infatuated determination to yield to Cleopatra's wishes to fight by sea instead of land, meet a merited punishment; and the extravagance of his resolutions, increasing with the desperateness of his circumstances, is well commented upon by Oenobarbus:

		Studying Antony and Cleopatra for A-Level, I've seen many a production of this on DVD or alike.
		This video has a deceptively simple feel about the way it is staged, yet this is entirely in keeping with its original presentation, using as it does the apparent limits of the theatre to reinforce the intimacy of the stage setting for its characters.
		As Jenny Aggutter says in her introduction to the video, some of its proceeds go to NCH Action for Children, so all in all it is money well spent.

		This is a brilliant performance of Antony and Cleopatra.....
		Janet Suzman as Cleopatra is at least as fine a Cleopatra as Liz Taylor (and infinitely superior to Leonor Varela's embarrassingly adolescent portrayal), but Richard Johnson as Antony is so marvelous that you can only think of Richard Burton as an unappealing weakling after watching Johnson.
		"Antony and Cleopatra" is one of Shakespeare's greatest plays where Marc Antony and Cleopatra, both with glorious pasts, have to cope with their dwindling fortunes.
