It was inevitable that at some point we'd bump into the bard on our ever winding theatrical-textual journey, and we do so what in our un-researched opinion is 'one of the more obscure ones.' Cymbeline is a play about a young couple who vow their love to each other but then hate each other but then don't really and also this horrible man named Cloten who is an idiot and a criminal and also some brothers who are gay for their sister but don't worry it all works out in the finish. Also there is a war between Britain and Rome whilst all this is going on. We were confused too.
We discuss mixing of genres, problematic themes and how to interpret them on stage, and if Nancy can be won round to this play.
Have some feedback? A play you'd like us to cover?
