This June, Something for Nothing Theater takes on a new and thrilling challenge. We will perform Shakespeares Cymbeline with just five actors playing all 32 characters! Sometimes called extreme casting, this production style demands clear storytelling, simple and elegant design, and versatile acting. It distills theatre down to its most basic elements: bodies moving in space, creating a story that comes to life in the spectators imaginations. This focused approach fits perfectly with Cymbeline, a sprawling fairy tale whose characters are much larger than life. Through the magic of extreme casting, Something for Nothing will give you a highly entertaining take on this lively romp through the classic Shakespearean themes of forbidden romance, dangerous deception, and dramatic revelations of hidden identity, among others. Who will the young lover Posthumus choose to trust when his wifes faith is tested? How will our heroine, Imogen, survive in the harsh wilderness after fleeing mortal danger at court? Will King Cymbeline and the British army triumph over the invading legions of Rome? Find out in Ramsey Park starting June 6! The tradition of free Shakespeare in Ramsey Park continues with our 2019 spring show. As always, our show will be under two hours. Bring a blanket or chairs, pack a picnic, invite some friends, and join us!
