Shakespeare’s tale of the high-stakes love affair between a Roman general and an Egyptian queen comes to the big screen via one of the world’s biggest stages. National Theater Live specializes in filmed versions of staged theater productions—all shot in front of live audiences in London. Their latest offering, Antony & Cleopatra, packs some impressive star power. The play’s title characters are played by dramatic heavyweights Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient) and Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda), and the production is directed by Shakespeare heavyweight Simon Godwin. It will be screened again Mar. 3 at 2pm.
