Cymbeline: Shakespeare’s Romantic, Magical Folk Tale
Long Beach Shakespeare Company’s Richard Goad Theatre (Long Beach, CA)
With an evil queen plotting to murder her stepdaughter, a brave rescue by three mountain cave-dwellers, a pair of ghosts and even a headless man, Cymbeline is a folk tale that would make the Brothers Grimm envious. One of Shakespeare’s last works, Cymbeline follows the adventures of the brave princess Imogen who, after being exiled from her father’s court and falsely accused of adultery, sets out on a treacherous and miraculous journey to reclaim her good name and reunite with her true love. Full of comedy, drama, action and romance, this play uncovers the resiliency of love and its conquest over chaos.
