FULL-ON CLEOPATRA by
Directed by SCT Artistic Director Adam Goldstein
Co-Produced with Silk Road Cultural Center (Black Bear Island)
A traveling soothsayer, Asim, wanders into the courtyard of Cleopatra’s palace and starts chatting with the queen’s handmaiden, Charmian. He promises to read her fortune. As the unhappy future of the court begins to unfold, this soothsayer soon becomes a witness, then finally a participant in the last days of Cleopatra and Antony. A bold, darkly comedic examination of the fleeting glory of power and the intimacy of those that share it in two of history’s great partnerships.
