Bare Theatre presents Cymbeline - a play that is loved by many actors and theatre practitioners, yet remains unknown to much of the general public.
Though the story may be unfamiliar to many, it contains elements that will be recognized by Shakespeare-lovers. Themes of forbidden love, fatherly pride, rebellion and jealousy are mingled with odious villains, mistaken identity, a cross-dressing young lady, and an epic battle - leading some in the industry to refer to Cymbeline as "Shakespeare's Greatest Hits."
Laura Bess Jernigan, a veteran actress and writer who was in Bare Theatre's very first production, directs this intricate epic in the cavernous space of the Cordoba Arts Center at Golden Belt in Durham. Honing in on themes of rebellion - between a noble daughter and her father the king, between the Britons and the Romans - Jernigan brings a vibrance and energy to this intimate, minimalist production with a cast of nine.
Jernigan assistant-directed and played the role of Phoebe last summer in Bare Theatre's As You Like It. She was also seen in A Big Wig Production's Kindertransport at Burning Coal Theatre and Fuddy Meers at Theatre in the Park. Her play, HERO, recently had its London premiere with Théâtre Libre. |
