AVLT’s production of Cymbline opened to an enthusiastic audience last night and among them was the Columbus Dispatch’s Michael Grossberg, who reviewed the show online late last night. Here are some highlights
Available Light Theatre’s stark staging and deft acting help make it a rare treat for discerning theatergoers…
Director Brian Evans cuts to the emotional core of his intimate, modern-dress version…
Drew Eberly’s passionate intensity makes Posthumus a vivid presence throughout…
Kate Gersing and Laura Crone add shimmering subtexts of droll self-consciousness to a variety of their male and female roles…
At the luminous core of Cymbeline is the plight of Imogen, beautifully brought to life by Acacia Duncan… a model of clarity throughout…
The staccato drumming and jazzy instrumentals of Dave Wallingford’s sound design reinforce the wild atmosphere…
…the strangely modern play sheds a fierce light on many of the Bard’s perennial themes of human folly.
