Monday, May 18 | Join us in-person and online for CYMBELINE, REFINISHED by William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw.

One great playwright rewrites another, as George Bernard Shaw imagines a refreshingly feminist ending for Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. In the same vein as Shaw’s final work Shakes versus Shav—a 10-minute Punch and Judy show in which the two bards debate who’s the better writer—Shaw tries to improve upon “one of Shakespeare’s finest later works” that nonetheless “goes to pieces” in Act V. The reading will feature Shakespeare’s original play, with Shaw’s reimagined final act, giving us a seamless experience of the two singular geniuses.

This reading is possible by the special support of the Michael Tuch Foundation.
