A timeless and moving drama about courage, pride and struggle. Cymbeline by William Shakespeare Shakespeare's sweeping tale of danger and romance is lavishly ritualistic and rich in comedy. A parted husband and wife battle the wrath of cruel suitors, ambitious royalty, deceptive acquaintances and a ravaging war. Frenetic action and passion meet ancient myth in this play of love and reunion, presented for the first time on the Hilberry stage. In the sultry summer heat of a small town, plans for a Labor Day picnic are interrupted when a magnetic stranger invades the lives of several women.
Tension builds and repressed desires sizzle to the surface, threatening their quiet existence.
This emotionally charged drama explores one man's dangerous influence in a town of silent desperation. A swashbuckling cavalier known for his romantic exploits is caught in a duel of wits with a daring maiden. Deceptions, intrigue and sexual politics pepper this bawdy and boisterous battle of the sexes. A raucous restoration comedy written by Aphra Behn, considered England's first female playwright, The Rover demonstrates the time-honored ingenuity of the female spirit.
