Antony and Cleopatra – review
From the article:
"Age may not wither her, but two years since Kim Catrall made her debut as the Queen of the Nile in Liverpool she arrives in Chichester with a new Antony in thrall: a grizzled Michael Pennington. Rising out of the floor like a masked rock goddess (think Madonna, who she particularly resembles when she puts on her war armour) in an Egypt that looks like an exotic nightclub awash with black lacquer, mirrors and oriental lamps, Catrall's queen knows the importance of pomp, but also the importance of paperwork. There's a nice moment when we glimpse her signing official documents, glasses perched on nose to combat the effects of middle-age. It lends a comic and human touch to this queen who presents such a mask to the world. "
