Fusing the love affair of Cleopatra and Antony, with that of screen legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, TWO LOVERS TOGETHER CLINGING will explore the very public love affair of two colossal personalities. Lust and power turn to love between two people from very different worlds, but at what cost? How does the world's richest woman balance her femininity with power? How can the man stop being emasculated by his more famous lover? Hedonistic, erotic, playful, TWO LOVERS TOGETHER CLINGING is a drama about two iconic all-consuming love affairs.  

Their dance of sublime and self destructive passion will take place high above the audience's head, as they court, fight, get drunk, make love. Their love affair involves incredible feats of strength, startling imagery and exquisite choreography on the silks. The two performers will clamber over each other on high in an entirely unique and physically exacting aerial drama in which the earthy reality of human relations are pitched against the sublime text of Shakespeare's play with all its contemporary resonances.
