Long Beach Shakespeare Company<\/a>, which is putting on the production.<\/p>\n“Rome and Egypt do not merely clash as superpowers \u2014 they fracture inside the hearts of two rulers trying to be everything at once: warrior and lover, sovereign and soul,” the LBSC said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“At its heart, Antony and Cleopatra is an exploration of love and duty \u2014 and how devotion to one demands the sacrifice of the other,” the statement continues. “The greatest soldier of the ancient world and its most powerful queen bind their empires \u2014 and their fates \u2014 together, chasing a fleeting sense of eternity found only in the quiet of midnight.”<\/p>\n
Performances run Friday through Sunday, March 7\u201322. General admission is $30, and student admission is $20.<\/p>\n
