Antony and Cleopatra: Workshop
- Synopsis
- The workshop examines one of the many short, crowded scenes of the play, in which Antony takes his leave of Cleopatra before going into battle with Caesar. Director John Russell-Brown works with James Laurenson (Antony) and Gillian Barge (Cleopatra) to show how the business of the donning of a suit of armour can be used to enhance rather than distract from the poetry of the play.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
