A Shakespeare Summer Night

If you did not have a chance to make it to Theatreworks' production of Cymbeline at Rock Ledge Ranch, you truly missed out! The show is officially sold out for its closing weekend, and it is no surprise to us.

Cymbeline, known as one of Shakespeare's wildest and most enchanting romances, tells the story of a charming heroine, a wicked queen, a sinister seducer, a banished husband, a perfect clod and a visitor from Olympus. Theatreworks' cast consists of eleven actors, each playing anywhere from one to five different roles. Highlights include actress Susan Maris' passionate portrayal of heroine Imogen, as well as the split personality of actor Nick Henderson as both husband Posthumous and sly Cloten, and Anthony Michael Martinez's baffling ability to alternate genders from one scene to the next.

The stunning Rock Ledge Ranch provides an ideal location for witnessing Shakespeare's creation come to life. Make sure to keep Theatreworks' annual Shakespeare in the Park production on your radar for next summer! And in the mean time, check out their entire 2013-14 season line up.
