All for Love

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

(or The World Well Lost) by JOHN DRYDEN , with eunuch, and First performed at the Theatre Royal, London in December 1677. All for
Love is regarded by many as Dryden's finest play. To conform to the dramatic rules of his day, Dryden reconceived and rewrote Shakespeare's
Antony and Cleopatra. The result is a powerful example of post-Restoration tragedy.
