Carol Chillington Rutter

Antony and Cleopatra

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This books looks at Antony and Cleopatra in performance from 1606 to 2018, examining how actors, directors and designers pick up the play's themes of desire and delinquency, exoticism and erotic politics to locate the most ambituous love story ever told in a new present. Is the play tragedy? Comedy? Farce? Rutter shows it's all three. -- .
