"Antony and Cleopatra" performed by the Greek Theatre Players

History's Greatest Love Story as told by History's Greatest Writer. The Greek Theatre Players are delighted to be invited back to Copped Hall at this historic and evocative venue, for their nineteenth performance. They will present Antony and Cleopatra, the last and most poetic of Shakespeare's great tragedies; presented in their long-established, traditionally costumed style. It picks up the story begun in Julius Caesar , with the Roman world ruled by a triumvirate consisting of Marc Antony, Octavius Caesar and Lepidus. A clash of personalities and a clash of civilisations abolishes the Roman Republic, gives birth to an Empire and threatens to tear apart history's most famous lovers.

Early booking is recommended for this popular event.

The play takes place in the Gardens, probably on the West Front but possibly on the Lower terraces and Great Lawn areas. The Gardens are undulating/uneven lawn surfaces with some paths on a sloping surface in some parts. Wheelchair users who may be interested in attending, should contact the Box Office to assess the suitability of this event. If it's raining, the performance will take place inside the Mansion.

NO DOGS will be allowed at this year's performance.

Refreshments, including tea, coffee and homemade cakes will be available. The Copped Hall shop will be open as will our Second-hand Bookshop.
