Cymbeline (4.0/5)

A powerful and emotional production of this story of rebellion, betrayal and forgiveness. A large and well-balanced cast exploit a vast thrust stage to bring the drama face-to-face with the audience.  At a little over three hours it's a long play that over-stretches the reveal and restoration of the good without fully explaining the underlying emotions.  Other than in it's final act, Cymbeline is a rollicking adventure and throughly enjoyable.
