Summer 2023: Cymbeline

July 7 – August 13, 2023
Fridays and Saturdays at 6 PM / Sundays at 2 PM

Performed outdoors at
Chicago Women’s Park & Gardens, Gross Park, Kelvyn Park, Nichols Park, Lincoln Park, and Touhy Park

Cymbeline shares many familiar tropes with other Shakespeare works and fairy tales: there’s true love, adventure, disguised identities, adulterous schemes, an evil stepmother queen, and even a potion whose effects mimic death. There are also timely questions of equity, gender roles, power, and deceit. Despite being one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known plays, it is nonetheless an epic story and we cannot wait to share it with audiences.
