The Cast

Romans and Egyptians were
hot-blooded Southerners who
refused to let duty distract
them from self and sin. The
historic truth of this actually
may need no more documenta-
ton than Papp's digest of the
affair between Antony and
Cleopatra.
She in her clinging red gown
and he in what looks like a
pair of Oaks and a military
styled sports shirt are indis-
putably a passionate couple.

more appropriate to the plays
single palace park setting.
This latter naturally leaves
the plays varied geography
something of a guessing game
between the performers and the
spectators. Yet it has it's own
element of excitement as test
of Sheakespeare's ability to
verbaliZe such visions as Ilium's
topleSs towers.
Director Moore and Olney's
clever designer, James D. War
ing. have worked out a raked,
multi-level stage with a long
curved bench at the rear. Save
when they are called upon to
tangle in amorouS embrace or
political or military conflict on
the lighted downstage area. the
various performers retreat to
this darkened bench to await
their next turns.
If there is a quicker way
than this to stage Shakespeare,
it has not yet appeared in this
vicinity and the possibility that
it will seems unlikely.
Interestingly, it does not
permit the Olney company &C
tually to race through the play.
Even with Mr.. Papp's cutting,
Shakespeare was not a play
wright to deny the English
language plenty of room to
romp. He is especially con-
cerned here to make the point

almost, if not quite, a dime a
dozen.
The resultant skeleton is the
work of Joseph Papp of New
York, an artful disciple of The
Bard with whose name Papp S
has been linked so prominently
in Gotham'S Shakespeare in
the-park movement. 1t brings
the play down from some "a
characters to mere 13 and a
production so stark that the
theatergoer vague on the his
tory of Roman imperialism is
hard put to fill in a multitude
of details.
Nevertheless, Director Bren-
nan Moore and his cast give
the Papp acting version a high
powered reading which under
takes to make up in theatrical
ity what it lacks of dramatic
reality.
