One of Shakespeareâs late plays rewritten in contemporary language.

In her modern translation of Cymbeline, Andrea Thome takes up one of Shakespeareâs most complex plays. Thomeâs update brings the playâs language into the present, highlighting new resonances and providing a more accessible version of Shakespeareâs play for todayâs audiences. One of Shakespeareâs 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 Winterâs Tale.

This translation of Cymbeline was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festivalâs Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of âThe Bardâ in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeareâs 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 printâ"a new First Folio for a new era.
