From the palaces of Britain to the love dens of Rome; from the sacrificial altars of Jupiter to the caves of the Welsh countryside, Cymbeline is William Shakespeare's darkest, sexiest, most surprising comedy.
King Cymbeline is not behaving in a very kingly way—driven to his wit's end by his gorgeous Queen, he's poised for war with the powerful armies of Rome. What's worse, his daughter, the lovely Imogen, has just married the handsome Leonatus, despite her father's wrath. Banished from the kingdom on pain of death, Leonatus ventures to the luxurious pleasure palace of the decadent Roman, Philario. And there, a filthy wager is made that will set you off on a road trip you'll never forget.
Will the drugged-out kingdom of Britain survive the Italian onslaught? Will the Queen's son Cloten be stopped before he can rape and murder again? Will the velvety Iachimo succeed in seducing the Princess? And what are those Goth Strangers living in the forest caves really trying to hide?
Tony Award winner DANIEL SULLIVAN (King Lear, The Comedy of Errors, Proof) directs this Shakespearean fairy tale featuring TEAGLE F. BOUGERE, KATE BURTON, RAÚL ESPARZA, DAVID FURR, HAMISH LINKLATER, JACOB MING-TRENT, PATRICK PAGE, LILY RABE, & STEVEN SKYBELL
