Co-produced by Moxie Theatre and Loud Fridge Theatre Group, CLEOPATRA is a world premiere one-act play adapted from William Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra and other historical sources. Opening Moxie Theatre’s 20th anniversary season, the production reimagines the Egyptian queen through an Afrodiasporic lens, centering the story on Cleopatra’s perspective rather than the traditional male gaze. Directed by Andréa Agosto and performed by playwright Joy Yvonne Jones, the show is a highly interactive, multimedia one-woman experience that blends live performance with atmospheric film clips and projections. The video elements move the timeline forward, depict off-stage figures like Marc Antony, and add humor—such as a reality TV-style dating segment—while audience members sometimes participate as messengers. The visual world features an airy, earthy set with Egyptian and African motifs, golden-to-emerald lighting shifts, and costumes that chart Cleopatra’s public power and private vulnerability.
