Don’t know Cymbeline? You’re not the only one! This late play is not often studied and, relative to some of his blockbusters, is a rarely performed Shakespeare play. Come and be one the the clever few to appreciate its charms. Think ancient kings, wicked step mothers, poison, not-poison, adventure, rescue, long lost siblings and romance…it’s a goodie!
Setting the scene: Just as Britain begins to spring back to life after a long winter, we delve into her ancient past and revel in the folk law, fairytale and romance. As we welcome the sounds and smells of the warmer months though our windows we will enjoy this wonderful play from the comfort of our homes.
We will read CYMBELINE via ZOOM and then watch the RSC’s 2017 production, directed by Melly Still online, coming together at the end to discuss what we thought.
