Antony and Cleopatra

Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

A wide-ranging selection from the most recent criticism of Antony and Cleopatra, beginning with seminal work from the 1950s onwards, and culminating in a series of radical reappraisals of the play's content, form, and appeal to modern readers. Represented in this selection is material from the late John Danby, Terence Hawkes, Janet Adelman, Margot Heinemann, J.Neville Davies, Barbara Vincent, Ania Loomba, Phyllis Rackin, Jonathan Dollimore and Jyotsyna Singh. Together with a substantial Introduction they offer a radical reappraisal of one of Shakespeare's Major Tragedies.

"By turns intriguing, moving and entertaining" Telegraph "An undoubted highlight.. reveals the human side of two of history's most well-known characters." The Public Reviews

Janet Suzman was born in Johannesburg, graduated from the University of Witwatersrand, trained at LAMDA, and was at the RSC for a decade playing many of the heroines and culminating in a memorable Cleopatra. She has since pursued a richly varied career; twice winner of the Evening Standard Best Actress Award, she has also received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, twice won the Liverpool Echo Best Production Award and the TMA Best Production. She has diversified into occasional directing – beginning with her Johannesburg Othello in 1987 – and now teaches, lectures, writes and returns to acting, when the occasion beckons, with relief.
