Cymbeline
by Rosedale Shakespeare
Mar. 30 - Apr. 04 (2019)
Something for Nothing Theater announces auditions for Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, a play that explores the human potential for redemption. A sprawling fairytale complete with wicked stepmother, kidnapped princes, secret poison, and magical eagle, Cymbeline shows what happens when powerful men lack faith in young women. A romance that transcends class boundaries leads to a young man’s exile and his wife’s peril. Will our heroine find a way to triumph in a world that does not value or believe her?
Something for Nothing Theater is excited to announce auditions for Cymbeline!
