Austin Shakespeare’s acclaimed teen company Young Shakespeare returns this summer with a magical and adventurous production of Shakespeare’s “Cymbeline,” presented at 8 p.m., June 20 – 29 at the unique, open-air Curtain Theatre, a replica of Shakespeare’s own playhouse nestled along the banks of Lake Austin. Tickets are available at austinshakespeare. org.
“‘Cymbeline’ is one of Shakespeare’s most imaginative plays,” Austin Shakespeare Artistic Director Ann Ciccolella said. “It’s a thrilling blend of romance, mistaken identity, treachery and reunion — with a brave young heroine at its heart.”
Young Shakespeare Director Cynthia Florez said, “Shakespeare’s ‘Cymbeline’ is our reimagined fairytale fantasy with pop music and contemporary costumes, and our cast of teens who strive to untangle this beguiling web of forbidden love, family strife and palace intrigue.”
