Antony and Cleopatra: Drama Audiobook (Free)

Kenneth Branagh and Alex Kingston star in Shakespeare’s tragedy of love and power.

As part of BBC Radio 3’s celebration from the 450th anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare, Kenneth Branagh and Alex Kingston star in this completely new production.

Enthusiasts, politicians, superstars. Antony & Cleopatra is definitely Shakespeare’s late and epic tragedy of mature like, as well as the catastrophic fall from grace and power it brings about. Irresistibly drawn together, the couple are surrounded by friends, opponents, admirers and critics, non-e of who stay unscathed from the folly and heartbreak of this magnificent pair. As empires clash around them, their future seems inevitable: to love each other ’til death and even beyond.

Made by BBC Cymru Wales for BBC Radio 3, this radio production also features Geoffrey Streatfeild, Nigel Anthony, Don Gilet and Peter Polycarpou amongst its cast.
