Antony and Cleopatra (Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | Very poor -not up to RSC standard. The story was poorly defined, the acting generally poor. Kathryn Hunter was the one bright spot but she was let down as were we by a very sub standard production - Paul Wallis | 18 Dec 10 |
| No this didn't do it for me. I couldn't wait for it to end. Sorry! - Kathryn | 11 Jul 10 |
| I saw this production last Wednesday and although Ms Hunter is not my vision of Cleopatra - I agree that her voice is a little like Eartha Kitt's and takes a little getting used to - I think she portrayed the character well. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance - so much so, I am returning to see it again next week! - SED | 29 Jun 10 |
| Not what we'd expect from the RSC at all. Pedestrian, no A-C chemistry which leaves you focusing on the incongruity of 2 aged lovers bouncing off each other. This breaks the back of the play. Also, some seriously poor acting - the cast seemed almost bored with a show that has clearly missed the mark. Greg Hicks, Da Silva were the only ones up to scratch. Enough to put me off the rest of the season at Stratford. - chris blakeley | 06 Jun 10 |
| wish i'd read this review,the first duff rsc show i've seen, so badly wrong on so many points, cant see the play for the arrogance and conceit of the director - james | 22 May 10 |
| I saw this and thought is was fantastic! I thought Kathryn Hunter and Darrell D'Silva had great chemistry together! I really felt sorry for Antony, especially when he thinks he has been betrayed! It also has alot of humour in it,the scenes with the messenger are just hysterical! I'd recommend it to anyone! - Buzz | 18 May 10 |
