Get Antony & Cleopatra tickets at Shakespeare’s Globe London.

For the first time in ten years, Antony & Cleopatra, Shakespeare’s epic story of love, duty, and power unfolds in the Globe Theatre in a ground-breaking bilingual production using Spoken English and British Sign Language.

Blanche McIntyre (Measure for Measure; Twelfth Night: For One Night Only, Globe) directs Shakespeare’s blockbuster clash of cultures, with Charlotte Arrowsmith (This is Going to Hurt, BBC) as Associate Director.

The production stars Nadia Nadarajah (Midnight Movie – Royal Court) as Cleopatra, and John Hollingworth (Poldark, Napoleon) as Mark Antony.

Antony & Cleopatra runs from 4 August 2024 to 15 September 2024 at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre London.

Rome is an empire ruled by men. Egypt is a kingdom governed by a woman.

Despite their different cultures, Roman general Antony falls for Egyptian queen Cleopatra. Their passion blazes across two continents, upsets the world order and puts thousands of lives at risk.
