À propos de cet audio

 All for Love is widely regarded as John Drydens masterpiece, a poignant tragedy that captivates with its emotional depth. Written in blank verse, this powerful retelling of the tragic love story between Roman general Marc Antony and the enchanting queen Cleopatra delves into their final days in Alexandria, where the specter of defeat looms large. Unlike Shakespeares more flamboyant portrayal, Drydens work offers an intimate exploration of love, loyalty, fidelity, and the fragile nature of masculinity against the backdrop of impending doom. This elegant drama is a true gem of the Restoration period, inviting listeners to reflect on the complexities of human relationships. - Summary by Tomas PeterCopyright Short Stories Art Divertissement et arts de la scène Théâtre
