Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

When:

June/July 2002

Where:

Subterranian Shakespeare, LaValles, Berkeley CA

Who:

Director: Joy Meads Cast:  Stanley Spengler, Scott Daniel, Pamela Wylie, Nina Breton, Ross Arden Harkness, Zach Gossett, Nikolai Lokteff and many others.

Production Synopsis:

Director Joy Meads called this "the best damn production of Antony and Cleopatra ever held in a rat infested basement of a pizzeria or the sailors don't call me skippy!".  That about sums it up!  It was a whole bunch of fun for me as I played four parts including Lepidus, Scarus, a messenger and the Clown who brings Cleopatra the asps.  Below you will find two pictures of me as Lepidus, the rather befuddled third member of the Triumvirate.

This looks like the start of a beautiful friendship!  Although Lepidus would be in prison and Antony dead by the end of the play!(photo by Nina Breton)
