Shakespeare’s tale of passion and power, “Antony and Cleopatra,” will run June 10 through Aug. 30 on the Globe stage.

English playwright Michael Frayn’s “Benefactors,” a comedy about an architect’s grandiose imagination, will join “Marry Me” at the Carter on July 17 and play through Sept. 30.

“A Comedy of Errors,” Shakespeare’s early comedy that features the amorous misadventures of two sets of twins, will be performed at the Festival from July 19 through Sept. 20.

The final play, which runs from July 24 to Sept. 20, has not yet been chosen. According to Globe Artistic Director Jack O’Brien, it will be either Tom Stoppard’s “Rough Crossing” (an adaptation of Ferenc Molnar’s “Play at the Castle”) or “There’s One in Every Marriage,” adapted by Paxton Whitehead and Suzanne Grossman from Feydeau’s “Le Didon.”
