One of Shakespeare¢s late plays rewritten in contemporary language.

In her modern translation of Cymbeline, Andrea Thome takes up one of Shakespeare¢s most complex plays. Thome¢s update brings the play¢s language into the present, highlighting new resonances and providing a more accessible version of Shakespeare¢s play for today¢s audiences. One of Shakespeare¢s final plays, Cymbeline tells the story of the British king Cymbeline and his daughter, Imogen. It is a tale of deceit and jealousy, with accusations of infidelity that often draw comparisons to Othello and The Winter¢s Tale.

This translation of Cymbeline was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival¢s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of ¢The Bard¢ in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare¢s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print¢"a new First Folio for a new era.
