"Cymbeline" coming to the Will Geer Theatricum May 31-Sept. 27

WHAT:
Cymbeline - Fidelity and loyalty triumph over treachery to assure that love will prevail in one of Shakespeare's most complex plays, the romantic Cymbeline. Banished from England for secretly marrying King Cymbeline's daughter Imogen, Posthumus bets the sly Iachimo that no man could ever seduce his faithful wife. When Iachimo sets off to test this claim, a riotous chain of tragic and comic events ensues.
