Cymbeline - Chicago Shakes

This was an incredible production. I have to give the Shakespeare Theatre here kudos - no matter what the play - their interpretation and production are excellent. For a little known Shakespeare - this comedy was incredible. Bawdy, saucy, funny - tragic in all the right ways. The acting was all very convincing - really brings out the text. The whole theatre was laughing the entire time. I was actually a little scared going into this play b/c it's one of the few I hadn't read first (I only have Pericles and Anthony and Cleopatra left). Didn't even know if it was a tragedy or a comedy - which definitely left an edge. Recommendation - don't miss it!
