CYMBELINE Set to Open At Theater At Monmouth in July

Theater at Monmouth will round out the Repertory portion of their 56th season with William Shakespeare's Cymbeline. Princess Imogen has defied her father, Cymbeline, King of Britain, by marrying the commoner and orphan Posthumus rather than the Queen's doltish son from her previous marriage, Cloten. Determined to control his daughter, Cymbeline exiles Posthumus, who travels to Rome. There the villainous Iachimo scorns Posthumus's confidence in his wife's virtue, boasting that he could seduce her. Irritated by his arrogance, Posthumus wagers his ring on Imogen's faithfulness. In Britain, Iachimo hides himself in her bedroom and emerges at night to observe intimate details of her body and to steal her bracelet. These seeming proofs of infidelity send Posthumus into a jealous rage, and he orders his servant Pisanio to kill Imogen. Cymbeline runs Thursday, July 24th at 7:30 p.m. through Saturday, August 23rd including matinee and evening performances both weekdays and weekends.
