Note return to page 1 Dryden's play, first performed in 1676, is not strictly a mere adaptation of Shakespeare's play (albeit “Written in Imitation of Shakespeare's Stile”), but the success of this heavily domesticated version of the Antony and Cleopatra story (last performed in the 1790s) helped keep Shakespeare's tragedy off the stage for many years, and it would exert a strong influence on later stage incarnations of ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.
