Shakespeare’s original ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ chronicles the relationship of Mark Antony, the Roman politician and General, and Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Indecisive Productions’ The Three Wives of Antony seeks to reimagine elements of its inspiring material to reframe the text in a more feminist context, as part of this year’s Six Degrees Festival. For the uninitiated (i.e., me) the differences in the two plays might be hard to spot, but they are there. Namely, the inclusion of Fulvia, Mark Antony’s first wife, who has an offstage death in the original text.
