Summary
This production was one of a season of Shakespeare's four Roman plays at the RSC that year. Richard Johnson and Corin Redgrave played Antony and Octavius Caesar, respectively, in both Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra and both roles became all the more complex and satisfying in their portrayal. Johnson's Antony noticeably stood more erect and firm when in Rome, not Egypt. The starkly linear black and white of Rome contrasted with the multicoloured softness of Egypt's indolent opulence. Janet Suzman's highly intelligent, athletic Cleopatra was both a canny political operator and a woman who could believably hop 40 paces through the street and not lose her breath.
