#antonyandcleopatra — Public Fediverse posts

Today I bought myself a ticket for Synetic Theatre's dialogue-free adaptation of Shakespeare's ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. Synetic used to perform in their own space at Crystal City (now called National Landing) in Arlington VA, but are now homeless; this run started yesterday and is at the Shakespeare Theatre in downtown Washington DC.

Synetic's wordless adaptations are renowned, & I enjoyed their version of ROMEO AND JULIET, and their Poe adaptation. But I wonder how easy it'll be to follow if you don't already know the plot, so I'm going to watch a more conventional performance before my ticket date. Kanopy has something like three different versions of ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, so I'll pick one of them.

Here's #MyShakespeareWinter part 35 of 37:

#AntonyAndCleopatra is romantic melodrama on a global scale...the Roman leader and the Queen of Egypt are hedonistic, passionate for each other, even in death...proof that messy love is more inspiring than the cold sober might of Caesar

I finally finished my paper yesterday. It went decently, but writing this paper did cement #AntonyAndCleopatra as my favorite #Shakespeare play. Triangulations everywhere! Also, Caesar and Cleopatra are so shady!

And I used lyrics from #Bickenhead for the title tbh. ✨✨✨ #CardiB

@withryn @YusufToropov okay so listen... #KingLear would be amazing and I would definitely buy if you did it. But have you considered #AntonyAndCleopatra ...just throwing that out there?? 🤔😂

Either way, I’m excited for your comic version of Macbeth. Me and some of my irl Shakespeare nerd friends are patiently waiting for July to come. Haha.
