Cambridge Shakespeare Festival: Antony and Cleopatra

8 - 27 July 2024

Shakespeare’s tale of the obsessive and passionate relationship between two rulers of the ancient world is staged in the formal splendour of Downing College. Mark Antony rules the Roman Empire with Caesar and Lepidus, yet sacrifices all to be with Cleopatra, the Queen of the Nile. When the threat of civil war in Rome drives them apart their lives are plunged into political and personal chaos leading to a breath-taking climax. Don’t miss this vibrant and electrifying production!

Performances will take place every evening (except Sundays) at 7.30pm in the East Lodge Garden. 

Tickets will be available to buy online nearer the time of the festival.
