San Francisco Shakespeare Festival presents 'Cymbeline' - an epic, romantic adventure!
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Cymbeline, Shakespeare's epic romantic adventure, is believed to be one of his final plays and is widely considered to be one of his greatest achievements. It features a dazzling mix of comedy, tragedy, and fairy tale that concludes with inventive scenes of revelation and joyous reconciliation.
In this tale King Cymbeline of Britain has banished Posthumus who has secretly married his daughter, Princess Imogen. A series of unimaginable misadventures ensue that test the strength of their commitment to each other.
Director Maryssa Wanlass is interested in the fairytale quality of this story, and wants to lean in to the archetypal characters and set the play in an alternate universe fantasy realm. Expect big performances, music, delicious villains and ultimately a family-friendly coming-of-age story.
Director Maryssa Wanlass describes this production as "Ancient Britain meets the Holy Roman Empire meets David Bowie."
