Antony and Cleopatra is Shakespeare’s most colourful and in some ways most ambitious tragedy, spanning two continents – Europe and Africa – and two great empires, Roman and Egyptian. This introduction will focus on how Shakespeare transforms the classical accounts of the two protagonists into a drama of geopolitics and the struggle between two value-systems.
