A new tale of love, rebellion, and secret alliances in a candlelit setting.
A clandestine union alters the destiny of two age-old realms. After a decade, experience Shakespeare’s late tragicomedy of love and revolt, "Cymbeline," for the first time in the intimate candlelit setting of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
Cymbeline, the reigning queen of ancient Britain, finds her authority challenged when her daughter, Innogen, defies her by secretly marrying. This act leads to the exile of Innogen's husband, Posthumus, to Rome. In his absence, Posthumus wagers on Innogen's faithfulness, a decision that will soon haunt them both. As Rome prepares for conflict, can Innogen reconcile her dual identities and bring peace between the two realms?
