The entire cast does fine ensemble work in this production. The smarmy look on Alan Scarfe's face as Octavius Caesar adds a disquieting menace to his steely will. Max Helpmann's Lepidus is an aridly pompous dotard of a triumvir, and Lewis Gordan's Enobarbus employs something resembling the barbed antics of Lear's Fool as he tries to jar the doomed Antony loose from the madness of his love. There will be other productions of Antony and Cleopatra, but it is quite possible that this remains the one to have seen.
