OVERVIEW Antony and Cleopatra The steamy story of a midlife affair that shook the foundations of the ancient world comes to vivid life in the Stratford Festival production of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra, starring Geraint Wyn Davies and Yanna McIntosh as the powerful rulers whose insatiable love leads to the greatest of tragedies. Director Gary Griffin paints an unforgettable landscape depicting the devastation wrought by the heart’s transgressions. The Story Since the assassination of Julius Caesar, the Roman republic has been ruled by the triumvirate of Octavius, Lepidus and Antony. Antony, however, has been neglecting his political and military responsibilities – and his wife in Rome – as he dallies in Alexandria with Cleopatra, queen of Egypt. After his wife dies, Antony returns to Rome to help Octavius deal with a challenge from the rebel Pompey – and also agrees to marry Octavius’s sister. But as Cleopatra’s lure proves too powerful for Antony to resist, the ancient world is engulfed in a war that will cost many lives and spell the doom of the republic itself. Synopsis After the assassination of Julius Caesar, the Roman world is ruled by a triumvirate consisting of Octavius Caesar, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus and Mark Antony. Much to Caesar’s disgust, however, Antony is neglecting his political and military responsibilities – and his wife in Rome – as he dallies in Alexandria with Cleopatra, the voluptuous queen of Egypt. Upon his wife’s death, Antony at last returns to Rome to help Caesar crush a rebellion led by Pompey. To patch things up between them, Antony agrees to marry Caesar’s sister, Octavia – news of which enrages Cleopatra. Pompey and the triumvirate declare a temporary truce, during which Pompey passes up the opportunity to kill all three of the Roman leaders at a shipboard banquet. When Antony, unable to endure his separation from Cleopatra, returns to Egypt, Caesar attacks and defeats Pompey, imprisons Lepidus and challenges Antony to a battle at sea. Antony’s side loses the fight when Cleopatra’s ships retreat, and in a subsequent engagement the Egyptian fleet surrenders altogether. Antony accuses Cleopatra of betraying him, whereupon she sends him word that she has killed herself. Hearing this, Antony falls on his sword and is mortally wounded. He is taken to Cleopatra, and they pledge again their undying love before Cleopatra sends for a poisonous asp with which to end her own life. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION DIRECTOR’S NOTES A Play of Infinite Variety By Gary Griffin Antony and Cleopatra has always fascinated me – in part because it’s a challenging play to categorize. It’s so many things: it’s history and it’s comedy and it’s tragedy and it’s romantic. I’m drawn to plays about the controllable and the uncontrollable. Antony and Cleopatra explores that dichotomy. It’s about duality and the struggle to embrace it. It’s about struggling with your whole self when the world is demanding that you be just one part of yourself. One of my designers compared it to The West Wing. That might sound reductive, but what we loved about The West Wing was that it was about what goes on behind the politics and the power and the running of the world. So is this play. We don’t see many large public scenes. We hear what went on in public, people describe what went on – but what we see, what we’re privy to, is what’s behind all that. Shakespeare was quite brilliant about knowing what we don’t need to see. There’s something very adult about Antony and Cleopatra. I’m sure young people will appreciate it in quite a different way, but to me, at almost fifty-four years old, I see its characters wrestling with the issues of middle age, when you realize your life may have arrived. You still learn, you still grow, you still get better, but the life you planned is here, and you make what you can of it. The play also explores the nature of suicide. For most of us, the questions are “Why?” and “Could I have done something?” Shakespeare gives very specific answers here: the reasons for suicide are clear in terms of why – and in each case it’s also clear that it could not have been prevented. Because this play is so vast it’s so hard to define, in directing it I’ve been trying to uncover its large canvas. We’ve tried to approach it in a spirit of humility and simplicity, allowing us to recognize ourselves as we newly discover this great story. NOTES ON CAPTURING THE LIVE PRODUCTION Antony and Cleopatra was captured live on stage with a full audience at the Stratford Festival’s Tom Patterson Theatre on September 25, 2014, using 10 high definition cameras and 128 tracks of sound to create a lush, surround-sound experience. Additional “pick-up” shots of key performance elements were captured on stage immediately following the performance. The film version is faithful to the stage version of the production, but adds the intimacy of film and a myriad of camera positions to bring the audience even closer to the action than in the intimate Tom Patterson Theatre. Involving the audience was a priority in the filmmaking process as the interplay between actor and audience is critical in this production. It was essential to have an audience remain for the pick-up shots that followed the full performance. ABOUT THE STRATFORD FESTIVAL The Stratford Festival has been setting the standard for classical theatre in North America for more than 60 years. With the works of Shakespeare at its core, this acclaimed repertory theatre presents a seven-month season of a dozen or more plays in four venues, along with a Forum of events to enrich the play-going experience. Since its revolutionary first season in 1953, it has welcomed more than 26 million theatregoers from around the world, people who flock to this small Canadian town for one reason: an unparalleled quality of performance. Beginning in 2015, under the leadership of Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino and Executive Director Anita Gaffney, the Stratford Festival will make a select number of its Shakespearean masterpieces available each year in spectacular HD, capturing the entire Shakespeare canon over the next 10 years and bringing the work of this renowned company to audiences around the world. “Stratford, where fans of classic drama come in large numbers to worship at its leading, four-stage, North American shrine.” Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune “If you have been longing to encounter greatness in the theatre, it’s waiting for you at the Stratford Festival.” Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star “I can’t think of another theatre company in the world currently offering such variety stylistically – and all of it at the highest standard, too.… The company is feeling like an international mecca for Shakespeare.” J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail “The depth of casting allows for revelatory performances even in minor roles.” Charles Isherwood, The New York Times “The Stratford Festival is like nirvana for theater fans.” Amy Alipio, National Geographic Traveler ABOUT STRATFORD FESTIVAL HD In March 2014, the Stratford Festival’s Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino and Executive Director Anita Gaffney announced an exciting and ambitious film and digital media project, committing to produce films of three productions each season with the ultimate goal of filming all of Shakespeare’s plays over the next decade. “We’re forging new territory here in Canada by filming a series of productions and expanding our digital footprint,” said Ms Gaffney. “In addition to distributing the films through cinemas, TV and online, we also plan to use components from the films to inspire a suite of digital products including applications, games and audio books. We hope that this expanded digital presence will ultimately entice even more people to visit Stratford and take in the full Festival experience.” This massive initiative began in February 2015 with the release of King Lear, a production that “unquestionably catapults Colm Feore into the ranks of the world’s greatest living actors” (Toronto Star). The Stratford Festival’s critically acclaimed productions of King John and Antony and Cleopatra will round out the first instalment of the Stratford Festival HD series that will ultimately bring the complete works of William Shakespeare to audiences around the world. “With these first three productions, we launch a project dear to my heart,” says Mr. Cimolino: “to create a Canadian collection of the entire Shakespeare canon, which allows us to preserve the performances of our greatest actors and share them with an audience far beyond our borders. “This is a tremendous opportunity for the Festival to conquer not only geography but also time. Over the years, Canada’s greatest theatre artists have done some of their finest work on our stages, only to have that work vanish into thin air. It is shocking to me that William Hutt’s final Prospero, for instance, lives on only as a distant, static archival recording that can barely even hint at the magnificent power of that performance.” Stratford Festival HD will extend the Festival’s reach and heighten its profile around the world. It will also serve as a valuable educational resource, allowing students to see Canadian productions of all of Shakespeare’s works, supplemented by online study guides that the Festival will create for each production. “Students need to see that Shakespeare doesn’t live in the daunting pages of a great thick book,” says Mr. Cimolino, “but in the very same media they use to navigate and explore the world around them.” ABOUT THE CAST Geraint Wyn Davies (Antony) Stratford Festival 2015 (12th season): Claudius, The Ghost in Hamlet and Johann Wilhelm Möbius in The Physicists.

DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS Antoni Cimolino Artistic Director of the Stratford Festival Born in Sudbury, Ontario, Antoni Cimolino graduated in 1984 from the University of Windsor’s School of Dramatic Art. He began his Stratford career in 1988 as an actor, playing such roles as Flute in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1989), Claudio in Measure for Measure (1992), Romeo in Romeo and Juliet (1992) and Laertes in Hamlet (1994). He began to direct for Stratford in the mid-1990s, winning acclaim for such productions as The Night of the Iguana, with Seana McKenna (1998); Twelfth Night, with William Hutt (2001); Love’s Labour’s Lost, with Brian Bedford (2003); King John, with Stephen Ouimette (2004); As You Like It, featuring original music by Barenaked Ladies (2005); Coriolanus, with Colm Feore and Martha Henry (2006); Bartholomew Fair, with Tom McCamus (2009); The Grapes of Wrath, with Janet Wright (2011); and Cymbeline, with Geraint Wyn Davies (2012). In 2013, his first season as Artistic Director, Mr. Cimolino introduced the Stratford Festival Forum, a series of about 150 insightful events designed to enhance the play-going experience by illuminating the themes of the plays and illustrating their relevance in today’s world. That same season he directed Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, with Tom McCamus and Scott Wentworth, and Friedrich Schiller’s Mary Stuart, with Lucy Peacock and Seana McKenna, a production that captured the public’s imagination and was extended an unprecedented four times. His 2014 productions, both featuring Colm Feore, were George Farquhar’s The Beaux’ Stratagem and Shakespeare’s King Lear, which became one of the top-selling Shakespeares in the Festival’s history. In 2015 he will direct the Festival’s productions of Hamlet and The Alchemist. Among many other accomplishments in his previous roles as the Festival’s General Manager, General Director and Executive Director, Mr. Cimolino oversaw the successful launch of a stability fund and a $50-million endowment foundation, and also significantly improved the Festival’s infrastructure by leading the design, consultation and funding process for four major construction projects between 2002 and 2008, including the extensive renovation of the Avon Theatre and the creation of the Studio Theatre. In 2014, he and Executive Director Anita Gaffney announced an ambitious 10-year project to film Festival productions of all Shakespeare’s plays, with the first three – King Lear, King John and Antony and Cleopatra – to be released in early 2015. A champion of the arts and culture, Mr. Cimolino also serves as the National Chair of Culture Days, a nationwide celebration of arts and culture in Canada. He has initiated collaborations with several prestigious theatre companies, including Montreal’s Théâtre du Nouveau Monde, Ottawa’s National Arts Centre, New York’s Lincoln Center and City Center, and the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Examples include the Festival’s 2006 production of Molière’s Don Juan, a co-production with Théâtre du Nouveau Monde that was presented in both French and English during its Stratford season and later transferred to Montreal, and 2004’s King Lear, which later transferred to New York, where it garnered two Tony nominations. Mr. Cimolino is passionate about enriching the lives of others through the education and practice of the arts. His dedication to this cause led him to spearhead the Festival’s involvement in a joint project with CUSO, Canada’s international volunteer co-operation agency, to establish a performing arts and educational centre in the city of Suchitoto, El Salvador. Now in his 28th season at the Festival, Mr. Cimolino is a respected artist and an influential leader in the global theatrical community. Anita Gaffney Executive Director, Stratford Festival Executive Producer Anita Gaffney is Executive Director of the Stratford Festival, working alongside the Artistic Director in setting the Festival’s strategic and operational direction. Ms Gaffney joined the Festival in 1991 and over the past 21 years has held a variety of positions, including Director of Marketing during the theatre’s years of peak attendance. She designed the Festival’s customer relationship marketing system, which remains in use today and has been emulated by arts organizations around the world. Ms Gaffney is highly regarded for her skills in government relations, finance, change management and strategic planning, honed during her years as the Festival’s Administrative Director. Her efforts to expand the reach of the Festival into the digital world include spearheading the Stratford Festival HD project as well as supporting the production of previous films, Caesar and Cleopatra, The Tempest and Twelfth Night and the launch of several mobile applications. She has an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University and has continued her executive education through Harvard Business School.
