sage01 's review for:

Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

4.0

With a tiny bit of editing, this is a really great play. I've never seen it performed, and I'm really curious about performance texts for this play -- whether they cut some of the buffoonery, which seems shoehorned in in order to give the company comedian something to do, and how they handle the multiple settings before, during, and after the battles. I wonder why there isn't a contemporary Hollywood version. Maybe no one wants to fund a sea battle? Or deal with the massive & endemic race, class, gender, and colonial questions that pervade the story.
