The BBC Television Shakespeare | Antony and Cleopatra Part 2
The second part of a 1981 BBC production of Shakespeare's classic play. This was broadcast as part of the 37-play BBC Television Shakespeare project. It was the first of Jonathan Miller's productions for the project to be recorded (although not the first to be broadcast).
Open University | Antony and Cleopatra - Workshop
The workshop examines one of the many short, crowded scenes of the play, in which Antony takes his leave of Cleopatra before going into battle with Caesar. Director John Russell-Brown works with James Laurenson (Antony) and Gillian Barge (Cleopatra) to show how the business of the donning of a suit of armour can be used to enhance rather than distract from the poetry of the play.
