GLOBE ON
SCREEN:
ANTONY &
CLEOPATRA
Shakespeare’s greatest
exploration of power
conflicts is comin’ at cha…
Cleopatra, the alluring and
fascinatingly ambiguous
Queen of Egypt, has
bewitched the great Mark
Antony, soldier, campaigner
and now one of the three
rulers of the Roman Empire.
When Antony quarrels with
his fellow leaders and throws
in his lot with Cleopatra, his
infatuation threatens to split
the Empire in two.
Virtue and vice,
transcendent love and
realpolitik combine in
Shakespeare’s greatest
exploration of the conflicting
claims of sex and power, all
expressed in a tragic poetry of
breath-taking beauty and
magnificence. The Globe’s
2014 envisioning of this iconic
play encapsulates these
themes whilst deftly threading
a sense of comedy throughout.

Palaeogeneticists have crushed
hopes for a real life Jurassic Park
by deducing it would be impossible
to bring dinosaurs back. DNA has a
half life of just 521 years before it
starts to decay irreparably, so the
remains of the big beasts sit
way too far back in history.
