Our interviews with the cast of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks' Cymbeline concludes with Robert Hunter Bry, who played the touring production’s Posthumus. Read on for Robert’s perspectives on Posthumus’ relationships to power, masculinity, and his adoptive family, and about the performance locations Robert found truly unforgettable. 

Our interviews with actors in this season's Montana Shakespeare in the Parks' Cymbeline continues with Chelsea David, who played the gender-flipped roles of Philaria and Belaria, and talks about the challenges and rewards a woman's perspective brings to the parts, and to the environments she interacts with.

Continuing our series of interviews with actors in this summer's Montana Shakespeare in the Parks' Cymbeline, we talked to Riley O'Toole, who played Cloten and Dr Cornelius. Riley discusses Cloten's absent birth-father, negotiating wildfire smoke, 100F heat, thunderstorms, uninvited children invading the stage, and more. He explains how negotiating emerging Anthropocene instability in Montana shapes a theatrically dynamic "practice of presences."   

Continuing our series of interviews with actors in this summer's Montana Shakespeare in the Parks' Cymbeline, we talked to Brandon Burditt, who played Cymbeline.

While filming Imogen in the Wild, Shakespeare in Yosemite’s research assistant Monica Perales interviewed the cast and crew about their experience adapting Cymbeline. This eleventh interview presents Monica in conversation with Rena Johnson, singer and co-composer alongside Cathryn Flores. Read on to read Rena’s reflections on intersectionality in ecotheatre, a pivotal backyard sing-along, and nature as a character in Imogen in the Wild. 

Cymbeline in the Anthropocene interviewed Isabella Camfield, a high school teacher in Los Angeles, about her co-ordination of a freely accessible website of educational resources for students and teachers to accompany the release of the Shakespeare in Yosemite feature film, Imogen in the Wild.

Since September, internationally distinguished playwright and director Mónica Maffía has been running an Eco-Shakespeare Lab at El Cultural San Martin in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she is currently artist in residence. Working with several theatre artists on the text of Cymbeline, the Shakespeare Lab will act as an incubator for the Setebos company’s production as part of Cymbeline in the Anthropocene. Below is a sneak peek at Mónica’s notes from the Shakespeare Lab’s first five sessions: fragments and reflections from the workshops in progress. The text is presented in Mónica’s original Spanish, with an English translation below.
