Cymbeline January 22, 2011

As dizzyingly eventful a drama as Shakespeare ever conceived, 'Cymbeline' tells of a beautiful princess separated from her beloved, the cruel step-mother who tries to foil her, a credulous husband duped by an adversary, an exiled nobleman who kidnaps a king's sons and a Roman invasion of Britain. All that and more is neatly tucked into a lightning-paced, streamlined production by Fiasco Theater in which six versatile actors play 14 roles.
