Duty and desire

Cupertino’s Memorial Park Amphitheater is once again a venue for San Francisco Shakespeare Festival’s Free Shakespeare in the Park. This summer SF Shakes is staging “Antony and Cleopatra” on Saturdays and Sundays, July 25-26 and Aug. 1-2 and 8-9. All shows begin at 6 p.m. at 21163 Anton Way.

Set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire and Egypt, “Antony and Cleopatra” examines the conflict between duty and desire, and the impact of personal relationships on political power.

The show runs for 90 minutes with no intermission. No reservations or tickets are required, and all seating is general and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cupertino’s Memorial Park Amphitheater has hosted SF Shakes’ Free Shakespeare in the Park since 1993. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/4wHSHzM.
