Cymbeline

December 2024 saw me begin rehearsals for Cymbeline at Shakespeare’s Globe. Directed by Jennifer Tang, this vibrant production runs from January 2025 to 20 April 2025 in the beautiful Sam Wanamaker Playhouse - the only candlelit theatre in Europe.

From Shakespeare’s Globe website:

‘A secret marriage changes the course of two ancient kingdoms. Don’t miss the ★★★★ ‘mesmerising’ (WhatsOnStage) and ★★★★ ‘amusing and moving’ (The Standard) Cymbeline, Shakespeare’s late tale of love, loss and legacy, in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

Cymbeline is queen of ancient Britain. When her daughter, Innogen, secretly marries against her mother’s will, her wife Posthumus is banished to Rome. In exile, Posthumus places a bet on Innogen’s innocence, a gamble they will soon regret.

As Rome readies for war, can Innogen bridge her two worlds to bring peace and reconciliation?

Director Jennifer Tang (Further Than The Furthest Thing, Young Vic) makes her Globe directorial debut, exploring nature, nurture and the role of female leadership in a man’s world.’
