This tragedy features triumvir Mark Antony and Queen of Egypt Cleopatra. She loves him although he is married. Octavius Caesar, the third political figure in the book, keeps the play's action interesting. Based on texts from Plutarch's Lives, we learn a little history of the Roman Republic prior to the time of Christ. It's not my favorite Shakespeare, but I liked it better after reading it this second time. I probably would not have re-read it, if En realidad, no es una edición de la obra original, sino de la versión que en 2021 estrenó la Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico. Esto significa que hay algunas pequeñas escenas suprimidas y algunos cambios que se dicen menores. Bueno. En todo caso, tenemos aquí una lección de lo que pasa cuando se mezclan el amor y la política, o el amor y el trabajo. Todos los personajes se comportan como lo que son, y el lector (supongo que también el espectador) comprende y hasta llega a justificar los vaivenes de Antonio, las ocasionales insensateces de Cleopatra y hasta la frialdad cruel de Octavio César. Cada uno de ellos tiene un papel que jugar y uno se plantea lo que haría en su lugar. Incluso Antonio mismo, velado (eso sí) por su pasión, casi comprende la traición de sus partidarios. El juego final de muertos que no están muertos pero que acaban provocando la muerte me recuerda al de Romeo y Julieta y está igual de bien conseguido. En fin, una muy grande obra que hay que leer con un poco más de calma de lo que lo hice yo. Would LOVE to see this played as a screwball comedy all the way through, yes, including all the deaths at the end. Cleopatra is one of the funniest and broadest characters in Shakespeare, and what's more comedic than triumvers drunkenly discoursing on the crocodile, or, you know, a man botching his own disembowelment? For heaven's sake, the most dramatic scene in the play is interrupted for several minutes when a clown stumbles into it and refuses to take his cue to leave. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Two elements stand out in the reading of this play, beyond the glorious leads. The figure of Enobarbus, Antony's sardonic aide-de-camp, offers a great insight into the romance and the political backdrop with his cagy asides and singular wit. "That truth should be silent I had almost forgot," he tells his boss, but it never really is with Enobarbus on the job.
The other element is "Antony And Cleopatra's" cinematic quality, with no less than 42 scenes set in Rome, Greece, and Egypt. Lovemaking, drinking, battles, and jump-cuts abound. There are longish scenes, like the final one, but even there the action moves fast. It might be considered a failing that so much of what happens on stage up until the last two acts is basically reaction action to storylines that occur off-frame, but Shakespeare makes the drama come so alive, and draws his focus so remarkably on his imperfect central lovers, that you only marvel at what he is able to accomplish without, say, a staged first meeting between Antony and Cleopatra, or a more direct falling out between Antony and Octavian Caesar.
One of the great attractions for me of reading this play is it works as a kind of antidote to Shakespeare's other celebrated romance. Romeo And Juliet are lovers in the full bloom of youth, toyed with by others' ambitions. Antony and Cleopatra are older and more in charge of their lives, yet make an even bigger hash of things. A street fight in Verona pales in comparison to Actium, yet I find Antony and Cleopatra as I get older far more rewarding company, with their refusal to live their lives in accordance with other's wants.
