Tom Blackmore / Cleopatra – A Musical
Tom Blackmore will be playing the role of Brutus in Cleopatra – A Musical in May.
Cleopatra was a charismatic woman who ruled Egypt in an age when the world was dominated by strong men, whose life simmered with splendour and sexual and political intrigue. Now this infamous Queen
and lover is brought back to life in a musical with a soaring and lavish score by Lyndon Samuel ( ‘Ghost Story’) and book and lyrics by Robert Gould (‘My Land’s Shore’). ‘Cleopatra’ The Musical focuses on Cleopatra’s conflict between her desire for power and her need to be loved, the dramatic war-torn politics of the times and the tragedy of the two men (Julius Caesar and Mark Antony) doomed by their love for her. This intimate concert performance of the show directed by Brendan Matthew (‘My Land’s Shore, ‘The Hired Man’, ‘The Kissing Dance’) will be an opportunity for an audience to see and hear a brand new musical in development.
