Cymbeline begins performances Thursday, November 1st at the Vivian Beaumont Theater (150 West 65 Street). Opening night is Sunday, December 2nd at 6:30 pm.

One of William Shakespeare’s most unusual and spectacular plays, this late Romance combines comedy, tragedy and history into an epic tale of power and magic - its action sweeping across Britain and Italy, as two warring powers clash until its eventual joyful conclusion. The characters in Cymbeline include a Lear-like monarch (John Cullum), a wicked queen (Phylicia Rashad), an Iago-like villain (Jonathan Cake), a deceived husband (Michael Cerveris), his loyal servant (John Pankow) and a heroine, the king’s daughter Imogen, Shakespeare’s last great female role (Martha Plimpton).

Cymbeline is designed by Tony Award winners Michael Yeargan (sets), Jess Goldstein (costumes), and Brian MacDevitt (lighting). Original music is by Mel Marvin and sound designers are Tony Smolenski IV and Walter Trarbach.

The performance schedule is Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8pm with matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 2pm and Sunday at 3 pm. (There is no Saturday matinee on Nov. 3rd.) Tickets priced at $65 to $90 will be available beginning Sunday, September 9, at the Lincoln Center Theater box office, by calling Tele-Charge at (212) 239-6200 or on-line by visiting www.lct.org.
