About this listen

Plain English Shakespeare adapts and abridges Shakespeare's classic plays presenting them in shorter versions in plain English. This conversion from Shakespearian language to today’s English, makes it easier to grasp the narrative structure of the play and appreciate Shakespeare's incredible gift for storytelling. This can be helpful for a younger audience, for those who are newer to the Shakespeare canon and for those who simply looking for a fresh approach to the great works of Shakespeare.

The abridged versions maintain the story and narrative structure of the original plays, but in a shorter 30-minute version making it easier to digest Shakespeare’s works, which have remained some of the best loved and most frequently performed plays for over 500 years.

Antony and Cleopatra is a Roman tragedy with romantic and comedic aspects, first performed around 1607, based on Thomas North's translation of the story Plutarch's lives in Ancient Greek. The plays follows Antony and Cleopatra at a time of strife in Sicily and the Roman Republic more broadly.
