Shakespeare’s ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA set at the Said Business School Oxford

by the Creation Theatre Company.

“A review by Julia Gasper. 31 July 2011″

Location, location, location, It can make a production and it can also do its best to kill it. Creation Theatre’s new production of Antony and Cleopatra is splendid in many respects, and the lead actors, Tom Peters as Mark Antony and Lizzie Hopley as Cleopatra, both give memorable and distinguished performances of their complex, demanding roles. Antony, unkempt and louche but tough under it all, is aware that his obsession with Cleopatra is sapping his effectiveness as a soldier and a ruler. He chain-smokes his way through the tense confrontation with Octavius, and thoroughly enjoys carousing on Pompey’s ship when a timely truce is made with the enemies of Rome.

The COMEDY of ERRORS

“performed
by the Oxford Shakespeare Company,”

By:
Julia Gasper 26 July 2011

Wadham College Gardens.

comedyIf you saw last year’s production of

The Tempest by the Oxford Shakespeare Company, or their hilarious and memorable Twelfth Night the year
before that, you will have high expectations of their new show, The Comedy of
Errors. And you will not be disappointed. From the very first moment when the
show bursts into life with a dance, it is full of energy, vitality and verve.
There is not a hint of reverence anywhere for this early comedy by Shakespeare -
the lines are there, yes, but transformed into a rip-roaring entertainment with
clowns, puppetry, absurd sound-effects, and cheeky visual jokes. http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/The-COMEDY-of-ERRORS.html
