Antony and Cleopatra (Shakespeare)

What with its renovations and opening of a new season, Hartford Stage generated a great deal of hype around its new production of Antony and Cleopatra. I was expecting to be wowed. Instead, I was underwhelmed by production's failure (1) to provide a clear exposition of this sprawling play, (2) to create a visual coherence, and (3) to make me care about the fate of the title characters.

Recommend with caveats.
