ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA – THE SECRET HOUSE OF DEATH – COME YOU SPIRITS and DAMIEN RYAN

 

 

COME YOU SPIRITS and DAMIEN RYAN have set Shakespeare’s great love tragedy, in the Throne Room of Cleopatra’s palace. They have elegantly delivered their clever and very captivating, one hour adaptation of Shakespeare’s great love tragedy. Magnificently performed by three outstanding actors. Best of the best, and stylised very theatrical Shakespeare experience. Highly Recommended.

Shakespeare brilliantly charts the highs and lows of the intimate relationship between the besotted Mark Antony and the beautiful Cleopatra. Thematically, to aid in his dramatisation, The Bard provides a unique exploration of the conflicts of politics, sex and power, during the Final War of the Roman Republic. This ANTONY and CLEOPATRA works well, for contemporary audiences.

ANTONY and CLEOPATRA, the original play is approx 210 minutes long, and features some forty separate settings, plus the play can be hard going for contemporary audiences.

COME YOU SPIRITS stylised Shakespeare event, ANTONY and CLEOPATRA THE SECRET HOUSE OF DEATH, had just the one performance from 6.30pm on Thursday 29th February 2024, and the location was TATLER SYDNEY, 169 Darlinghurst Road, Darlinghurst.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
