Othello
Royal Shakespeare Company

Mark Antony has it all following Caesar's assassination - power, glory, and a whole empire. In chasing for the love of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, he neglects his empire and his duties as emperor. In the battle between duty and liturgy to Cleopatra, Antony's military deserts him. A tragic end is to surely follow.
