Take a deep dive into Shakespeare’s Fairy Tale Worlds with an insightful, day-long exploration with academics and artists, inspired by our upcoming production of his wonderfully complex Cymbeline in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse this winter.

Magic and prophecy. Storms and shipwrecks. Lost children and resurrected wives. Through a series of talks and seminars, we’ll explore the realm of Shakespearean romance, where nothing – not even time – behaves as it should.

You’ll end the day with a Q&A with actors or artists sharing their experiences of bringing Cymbeline to the stage, giving you the chance to ask questions and gain further insight into the play.

This Study Day can be enjoyed on its own but is also a perfect introduction to our production of Cymbeline. So why not round off your day with a ticket to the evening performance following the Study Day? Tickets for the performance are not included in the Study Day ticket price and must be purchased separately.
