Antony & Cleopatra: Infinite Lives

Performed September 13-15, 2012 at The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology & Anthropology as part of the 2012 Philly Fringe Festival.

A play-within-a-play version of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. An Egyptian expatriate gets caught between two revolutionaries—her fiancé, an activist director who tries to upend his commissioned Shakespeare production, and her brother, a nationalist fresh from the violence of Tahrir Square.

Written by Pete Barry & J. Michael DeAngelis
from original text by William Shakespeare
