Production images have been released of Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo in Antony & Cleopatra at the National Theatre.
Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo play the famous fated couple in Shakespeare’s gripping tale of power, seduction and obsession.

Both a Roman triumph and an Egyptian feast’ (What’s On Stage), ‘dazzling’ (Financial Times) and a ‘spectacular tragedy’ (The Times).
The cast also features Fisayo Akinade, Alexander Cobb, Hiba Elchikhe, Henry Everett, Gerald Gyimah, Waleed Hammad, Tunji Kasim, Georgia Landers, Nicholas Le Prevost, Tim McMullan, Hannah Morrish, Shazia Nicholls, Gloria Obianyo, Nick Sampson, Katy Stephens, Alan Turkington, Ben Wiggins, Sam Woolf and Sargon Yelda.
