WhatsOnStage have been given images offering a sneak peek backstage during technical rehearsals for the RSC's production of Antony and Cleopatra.
Iqbal Khan's production, part of the RSC's Rome season, will run in rep with Julius Caesar and sees Josette Simon play Cleopatra alongside Antony Byrne as Antony.
Titus Andronicus, directed by Blanche McIntyre, and season director Angus Jackson's take on Coriolanus will join the repertoire later in the year.
Antony and Cleopatra runs in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre from 23 March to 7 September 2017.
