‘Cleopatra’, 1998
When a Victorian Egyptologist discovers Cleopatra’s tomb and brings her back to life, she assumes he is her lover, Anthony. At the start of the opening night at Cothele House, the play still had no ending. This was agreed in the interval and improvised. It would be a lie to claim that the audience never noticed, but by the second week the show had found its feet and went on to enjoy considerable success!
