Book Reviews of Antony and Cleopatra (Arkangel Shakespeare)
Book Review: A great dramatization with one little problem
Summary: 4 Stars
This set of three CDs contains a really great dramatization of Shakespeare's classic play, Antony and Cleopatra. Arkangel brought together a battery of great actors (including Ciaran Hinds(!) and David Burke), who really brought the story to life. My one and only complaint is that they story is produced straight out of the book - which means that there is very little introduction of the cast of characters or of the scenes. When you read the play, you see the scene described and the characters listed, and when you see the play performed you see the scenery and see the faces of the actors. But, in this purely audio play you have to get to know the characters from their voices alone, and sometimes it is a little hard to imagine where the action is actually taking place.
But, in spite of that little problem, I really did enjoy the play and had little problem following the broad outline of what was happening to whom and why. Yep, I found this to be a very enjoyable dramatization, and I do not hesitate to recommend it!
Summary of Antony and Cleopatra (Arkangel Shakespeare)
Struggling to save her empire, Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, becomes entrenched in a deadly romantic triangle with Roman leaders Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. From one of history's great love stories, Shakespeare crafts an epic tragedy of the clash between love and duty.Poetry Books
