After the suspension of all participating productions in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are excited that performances are returning in 2021. Our next scheduled Cymbeline peformances are the opening of the Montana Shakespeare in the Parks season on 16 June, followed closely by the Willow Globe Cymbeline debuting on the 25th.

Shakespeare's Cymbeline: EcoDramaturgy in Action
Cymbeline in the Anthropocene is an intercontinental network of ten site-specific productions of Shakespeare’s tragi-comic romance, Cymbeline. Each production will seek to uncover past and present ecological values in the play’s vibrant range of stories, emotions, and terrains, and to relate them creatively to local environmental conditions in the hope of opening audiences’ imaginations to new biocentric and biospheric horizons.
