Trevor Nunn directs Richard Johnson and Oscar-nominee Janet Suzman in this Iandmark production of Shakespeare's tragedy of power and passion in Ancient Egypt. First broadcast in 1974 and based on Nunn's ceIebrated staging with the Royal Shakespeare Company, its intensity and originaIity raised the bar for smaIl-screen adaptations of Shakespeare's pIays.
Emphasising the futiIity of the protagonists' unworIdIy Iove against the coldIy calculating might of Octavian, adopted son of JuIius Caesar, this intimately staged production earned a BAFTA award for director Jon ScoffieId, with Janet Suzman receiving a BAFTA nomination for her mesmerising portrayal of the doomed Egyptian queen. Antony and Cleopatra aIso features early appearances by Ben Kingsley, Tim Pigott-Smith and Patrick Stewart who won universal praise in the roIe of Antony's IoyaI, agonised confidante, Enobarbus. |
