Cleopatra

Rob Allyn: An American actor who cried when we told him that he couldn’t play Cleopatra, but we consoled him with the opportunity to imitate her in his role as Octavius.

Eric Bassanesi: An Australian-Italian hybrid who is the brains, muscle and pocket behind the Miracle Players. In this production he plays Mark Antony, the dynamic but not too politically astute opponent of Octavius.

Giulia Bernardini: An American-Italian hybrid who plays the title role of Cleopatra. She would like to point out that she is actually better looking than the original queen but she only speaks three languages as opposed to the nine that Cleopatra spoke.

Lepidus: a puppet made by the American artist Adam Parker Smith.  Lepidus is playing himself in this production which heralds his stage debut.  He is looking forward to the opportunity to display his acting talents.

Denise McNee: The writer and director of the play. Being the shortest cast member she will be playing the role of Julius Caesar even though she has much more hair than the Roman dictator.

Dyanne White: An English actress who is the most fertile member of the group with two small boys. They will not be appearing in this year’s production although both have had womb roles in previous shows. Being a committed pacifist she plays the role of the war hungry general Agrippa.
