For the first time in ten years, ANTONY & CLEOPATRA, Shakespeare’s epic story of love, duty, and power unfolds in Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in a ground-breaking bilingual production using Spoken English and British Sign Language.
When Roman general Antony falls for Egyptian queen Cleopatra, the future of their two countries hangs in the balance… Blanche McIntyre (Measure for Measure; Twelfth Night: For One Night Only, Globe) directs Shakespeare’s blockbuster clash of cultures, with Charlotte Arrowsmith as Associate Director and Nadia Nadarajah as Cleopatra in a ground-breaking bilingual production using Spoken English and British Sign Language.
‘Eternity was in our lips and eyes’ Act I, scene 3
All performances of ANTONY & CLEOPATRA will be captioned. The creative team of deaf and hearing artists and consultants will begin the creation process for the production in the spring. The Globe will therefore be able to provide further information on the creative integration of both British Sign Language and Spoken English in due course.

Located on the bank of the River Thames in Bankside's Cultural Quarter, Shakespeare's Globe welcomes thousands of visitors to experience world renowned productions of Shakespeare every day. Founded by the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wanamaker, Shakespeare's Globe stands a few hundred yards from its original site. Other than concessions to comply with modern day fire regulations, the Globe is as accurate a reconstruction of the 1599 Globe as was possible with the available evidence. Shakespeare's Globe is best accessed on foot. There are excellent footpaths along the river from Waterloo and from Southwark Bridge. The Millennium Footbridge is 50 metres from the Theatre.
