Cymbeline: Opening Week & Sneak Peek

Nicholas E. Sheets

by Nicholas E. Sheets, dramaturg Lights, Actors, DRAMA! After months of research, rehearsals and a lot of candy, our show finally performs in front of a live audience. This is the moment. As the dramaturg my time with the audience is coming to a close and the show will now be experienced by YOU. You are the ultimate judge. Here are a few questions I would ask you to think about when you come see this performance:

  1. What is Teresa, the director, trying to show? Was she effective?
  2. What is the basic outline of Cymbeline? Did you understand the story?
  3. What ideas from the play made you wonder about something bigger? Or, what tickled your fancy?

BONUS: Michael Comp, the narrator for the Film noir style of Cymbeline put together two wonderful trailers for this show. Enjoy the trailers and then come see the show! Film Noir: Fairy Tale: If you've already seen the show, one or both concepts, please comment on your experience below!
