By William Shakespeare

Directed by Michelle Milne

In this romantic and humorous tale of love, betrayal, and mistaken identity, Shakespeare pulls from a stockpile of his famous tropes and devices. Cymbeline follows loyal Imogen as she takes fate into her own hands to reunite with the man who betrayed her. Other characters include a scheming queen, a devoted servant, a hotheaded fool, a jealous husband, a demanding father, a lying lecher, a kidnapper, two ghosts, and the almighty Jupiter to name a few. Through gender bending various roles, we will examine the themes of gender and stereotypes in this classic work of theater.
