Passion makes fools of us all, and nowhere does Shakespeare better display this than in Antony & Cleopatra. What I love about this play is the clash between the public and the personal, the political and the private. It's a sharp, bitter, witty play, full of gossip and black humour. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Week 50 Antony & Cleopatra

In about 60 weeks, I am going to hit 60 years. That’s a big number. It makes you think about what you have done, where you have been, what matters to you. My greatest passion has always been reading, whether that was listening to people read to me, or once I grasped the essentials, reading myself. So this year, I am going to talk about 60 books. I have chosen most of the books already, ten for each decade of my life. Some are classics, some are anything but classic, but I chose them because they shaped me in some way, had some form of lasting impact, and in many cases, are regular re-reads. I hope this will amuse, inspire and entertain you.&nbsp;<hr> Hosted on Acast.
