Quintessence will produce ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA with education activities focused on Shakespeare and history for 15 middle/high schools in NW Phila. Two rival leaders fall into romantic passion so great it destroys both their kingdoms: Clear verse speaking, modern dress, a bare stage, and Shakespeare’s most cinematic, romantic poetry will transport students to North Africa for a political thriller.
