CRITIC’S PICK! “THE MOST TRULY ENCHANTING CYMBELINE I’VE SEEN. EXQUISITE.”
- The New York Times
“The Fiasco Company brings joyful music, playful inventiveness and just an air-kiss of irony to Shakespeare’s mock-epic. The remind us what theater, at its simplest and most powerful, is really for: the alchemical thrill of watching an entire work conjured into being out of sheer wit and will. A small masterpiece.”
