Cymbeline in the Anthropocene's project leader Randall Martin recently guest starred in Nicole Asquith's podcast In the Weeds, which explores human relationships with the environment through our cultivation of plants. In a month full of Cymbeline happenings, Randall takes a detour through a suspiciously English "Athenian" wood to speak about the forests of A Midsummer Night's Dream. 

As promised in their recent production updates, Shakespeare in Yosemite released a number of previews of their Cymbeline adaptation "Imogen in the Wild" on Earth Day. A total of eight videos now available on the Shakespeare in Yosemite Youtube channel offer a vivid look at the adaptation itself, along with its brilliant cast and settings. Today, Cymbeline in the Anthropocene explores the original music videos that underscore this production's ecological themes. 

It is an auspicious coincidence that Earth Day and Shakespeare’s birthday fall back to back on the calendar every April. Today, we arrive at Earth Day 2021 after a tumultuous year, in which Covid-19 and its accompanying political crises have reminded us exactly how interconnected our local environments are with the rest of the globe. 

Cymbeline in the Anthropocene is glad to announce that our collaborators in Melbourne, Australia, begin their performance run of Cymbeline tomorrow! Today, we celebrate this fortune by featuring rehearsal stills taken by photographer Melissa Viola. 

Shakespeare in Yosemite has announced an extended production timeline for their feature film adaptation of Cymbeline, titled Imogen in the Wild. While their original release date was set for April 22nd for Earth Day, the full film will now be released in September 2021, with plenty of additional material set to release gradually beginning on Earth Day. 

Cymbeline in the Anthropocene is excited to announce that many of our collaborators will appear in this month's virtual Globe 4 Globe symposium on April 23rd and 24th. The event is co-hosted by the research department from Shakepeare's Globe in London and the University of California Merced's Katie Brokaw and Paul Prescott--the very same directors of Shakespeare in Yosemite's Imogen in the Wild. 

Only two weeks remain until Earth Day, when two of our collaborating productions of Cymbeline will be in the world! Today, we present the poster for the first of these productions. This Australian Cymbeline, co-produced between La Trobe University Theatre and director Rob Conkie, begins a day earlier in Melbourne, and runs between April 21-24. 

With mere weeks before their film adaptation of Cymbeline, "Imogen in the Wild" premieres, the Shakespeare in Yosemite team has released two teaser trailers. 

With theatres beginning to re-open across Australia, tickets are now available for the first run of Cymbeline performances by Cymbeline in the Anthropocene's collaborators. Directed by Rob Conkie, this performance runs between April 21-24 as part of La Trobe University's MOAT festival in Melbourne.
