Description "Melbourne Grammar School (which is, funnily enough, in Melbourne Australia) is doing a production of Antony and Cleopatra in March next year, I think. Every year they do a Shakespeare production outdoors in their school quad and they are generally extraordinarily good. Two years ago they did Lear and it was marvelous and before that they did MND, which worked very well in the outdoor setting."

Further Information "Stone is a fast-tracker if ever there was one. As a teenager, he decided he wanted to be an actor. He secured an agent at 15 and read the complete works of Shakespeare in chronological order. The following year, he read all of Plutarch's Lives, prior to playing Antony in his high school's Antony and Cleopatra. He watched 15 films a week. Sometimes more."
