I thought the Shakespeare Theater Company's production of Cymbeline was amazing, definitely the best of the productions we have seen so far this year. My favorite aspect of it was how the entire play was turned into a bedtime story for the little girl.
I liked the set, but I felt it looked too out of place in some scenes and didn't really make sense. Especially the thing with the water. While it looked really cool, it wasn't exactly necessary.
I thought all the actors were excellent, they fit their roles really well. Especially the actors for the Queen and Cloten. The only actor I might have issues with was the actor for Leonatus. His acting was fine, but I don't think he really looked right for the part.
Personally, when we read Cymbeline last semester it wasn't one of my favorite plays. This performance however has changed my mind and made me enjoy Cymbeline more than I did before.
