For the first time in a decade, Shakespeare's "Antony & Cleopatra" is returning to the Globe Theatre, and this time it's making history with a groundbreaking bilingual production. This summer, immerse yourself in a world where love, power, and culture collide, all brought to life through a seamless blend of Spoken English and British Sign Language (BSL).
This production promises to be a feast for the senses and a profound cultural experience, especially for Deaf BSL users. "Antony & Cleopatra" is a story of colossal passions, set against a world in turmoil. As the Roman general Antony and the Egyptian queen Cleopatra navigate the treacherous waters of love and duty, their affair blazes across continents and threatens to change the course of history.
A Unique Theatrical Experience
Directed by Blanche McIntyre, this production takes "Antony & Cleopatra" to new heights by integrating BSL into the heart of the performance. With the talented Charlotte Arrowsmith as Associate Director and Nadia Nadarajah captivating audiences as Cleopatra, this rendition is not just a play, but a celebration of diverse storytelling. Every performance will be captioned, ensuring accessibility for all.
This bilingual interpretation allows Shakespeare's timeless text to resonate with even greater depth, offering both Deaf and hearing audiences the opportunity to experience the play in a new light. Some scenes will be performed in BSL, others in Spoken English, and many will weave both languages together.
