Sir Robert Chiltern is a well-regarded politician happily married to a loving wife. His status as an ideal husband is threatened when evidence of a past indiscretion appears. Sir Robert turns to his friend Lord Goring, who takes matters into his own hands. An Ideal Husband is directed by Keith Baxter (The Imaginary Invalid, Mrs. Warren’s Profession), whose production of The Rivals was proclaimed “irrepressibly funny!” (Chicago Tribune).

She leaves his court, only to return with an invading foreign army. They reconcile tearfully. Now consider this story: a brave man secretly marries the daughter of a powerful benefactor. Shortly after the marriage, a devious Italian uses circumstantial evidence to convince the man that his wife has been unfaithful to him. Enraged, the man decides she must die. Everyone who has seen or read William Shakespeare’s tragedies King Lear and Othello knows how these stories end: Cordelia is hanged, and her father Lear dies of grief and exhaustion moments later; Othello strangles his wife Desdemona, and then stabs himself. But imagine if the reprieve arrived in time, and Cordelia and Lear survived to rule in peace? Imagine if Iago’s lies came to light in time, and Othello and Desdemona lived on to repair their love? No need to imagine, for Shakespeare wrote these miraculous endings into his 1610 play Cymbeline. King Cymbeline and his daughter Imogen fall out over her elopement with the commoner Posthumus; later, the scheming Iachimo persuades Posthumus of Imogen’s infidelity. Posthumus orders his servant to kill Imogen, but she survives both that attempt and a bloody battle between Britain and Rome. With the help of the god Jupiter, Imogen reconciles with Cymbeline and Posthumus. Perhaps because of its similarities to these earlier tragedies, Cymbeline first appeared in the 1623 edition of Shakespeare’s complete works under the category of “tragedy.” However, its combination of tragic elements with comic and historical materials (not to mention that happy ending) makes it almost unclassifiable. It appeared at the very end of Shakespeare’s nearly 20-year career in playwriting, grouped with three similar plays: Pericles, The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest. These plays all begin tragically, with tales of families destroyed by ego, suspicion or outside enemies. After long separations and dangerous journeys, the families are unexpectedly reunited. Some magical or divine force has a hand in healing these broken pieces into a whole. In Shakespeare’s time, these hybrid plays belonged to a newly-popular genre known as tragicomedy. In 1608, the playwright John Fletcher attempted a definition: “it [lacks] deaths, which is enough to make it no tragedy, yet brings some near it, which is enough to make it no comedy.” By the 19th century, critics were calling Shakespeare’s late plays “romances,” a term which celebrated their unexpected twists. “The interest is not historical, or dependent upon fidelity of portraiture, or the natural connection of events,” said the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1811, “but is a birth of the imagination.” Surely, though, Cymbeline and its kin were not the first of Shakespeare’s plays to feature near-death experiences or fantastical plots. His comedies A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It and Twelfth Night, for example, all begin with families torn apart and end with reunion. It is not simply the mixing of tragic and comic elements, therefore, that makes these plays so unique. Inigo Jones's design for Jupiter descending on an eagle, in Aurelian Townshend's masque Tempe Restored (1632). Perhaps what sets Cymbeline and the others apart from the plays that came before is the moment when miraculous intervention turns the path of certain destruction towards the hope of regeneration. In this, they share much with fairy tales, which take their young heroes and heroines through unimaginable perils to the reward of a happy ending. These tales seem designed to teach us from a young age that life will be hard and unfair, but that enduring that hardship will have been worth it in the end. They offer not realism, but rather consolation. When Cymbeline’s protagonists linger at their lowest extreme, a god appears to comfort them. “Whom best I love, I cross,” says Jupiter, “to make my gift, the more delayed, delighted.” The delightful gift of reunion would not be possible without the difficult delay of all that came before. In the real world, stories that begin like King Lear and Othello usually end up as those plays do. The limbs lopped off of the social and family trees rarely grow back. But after years of facing down the bleak alleys of tragedy, Shakespeare chose to end his career with hopeful magic. The divine transformation and rebirth that end his last plays may be implausible, but they also seem right. We want our stories to end like Cymbeline. The Ethiopian Story, a third-century Greek tale that inspired the play, concludes by acknowledging the work of forces “whose will it was that this should fall out wonderfully, as in a comedy. Surely they made very contrary things agree, and joined sorrow and mirth, tears and laughter together, and turned fearful and terrible things into a joyful banquet in the end.” In the presence of joy, divisions between “tragedy,” “comedy” and “history” disappear.

Synopsis The orphaned Posthumus Leonatus was raised by King Cymbeline of Britain. Cymbeline’s two sons, Guiderius and Arviragus, disappeared when they were babies, but his daughter Imogen remained. Imogen secretly married Posthumus, and Cymbeline’s anger at his daughter’s marrying a commoner led him to banish Posthumus. Departing for Rome, Posthumus takes a ring from Imogen and leaves her a bracelet as a memento. In Rome, a gentleman named Iachimo hears Posthumus boasting of Imogen’s virtue and bets that he can make her cheat on her husband. Posthumus bets Imogen’s ring that Iachimo will not succeed. Back in Britain, the Queen (Cymbeline’s second wife) asks Doctor Cornelius to prepare a poison for her. Suspecting her bad intentions, he gives her a potion that will produce only the appearance of death. The Queen gives the mixture to Pisanio, Posthumus’ loyal servant who has sworn to look after Imogen, and tells him that it is a powerful medicine. After arriving in Britain and testing Imogen’s fidelity to Posthumus, Iachimo asks if she will keep a trunk of treasure in her bedroom that night for safekeeping. Iachimo hides in the trunk, and sneaks out in the middle of the night to record details of Imogen’s room and to remove the bracelet from her arm. The next morning, Imogen rejects the advances of the Queen’s son Cloten, infuriating him. Iachimo returns to Rome, where he describes Imogen’s bedroom and shows Posthumus the bracelet. Heartbroken at his wife’s apparent infidelity, Posthumus writes to Pisanio to command him to kill Imogen. Under the influence of the Queen, Cymbeline refuses to pay the tribute to the Roman emperor, and the ambassador Caius Lucius warns that war must follow. Cymbeline’s former general Belarius lives in a cave in Wales along with his sons Polydore and Cadwal—really Cymbeline’s kidnapped sons Guiderius and Arviragus. After luring Imogen to Wales, Pisanio reveals Posthumus’ suspicions to her and proposes that they fake her death. Pisanio advises her to dress as a boy and to join up with Caius Lucius; he sends her off with the Queen’s potion in case of illness. Cloten interrogates Pisanio about Imogen’s whereabouts, and leaves determined to kill Posthumus and rape Imogen, all while wearing Posthumus’ clothes. Meanwhile, Imogen wanders into the cave of Belarius looking for food; when the three men return home, they receive her kindly. But upon feeling ill, she takes some of the Queen’s potion and falls into a death-like sleep. Cloten arrives and threatens Guiderius, who cuts his head off. The men mourn Imogen, and place Cloten’s body next to hers. After they leave, she awakes, and becomes inconsolable upon finding what appears to be Posthumus’ headless body. Just then, Caius Lucius’ army marches by, and Imogen joins up with them. Posthumus, stricken with remorse upon receiving word that Imogen is dead, arrives in Britain with the Romans but disguises himself as a British peasant to fight against Rome. In the battle, Posthumus defeats Iachimo, and then joins Belarius, Guiderius and Arviragus to lead Britain to victory. After they help to defeat Caius Lucius, Posthumus allows himself to be arrested as a Roman sympathizer and imprisoned. As he sleeps in prison, the god Jupiter appears in a vision and promises to save him. Just as he is about to be executed, a summons arrives from Cymbeline. Doctor Cornelius tells Cymbeline that the Queen has died, but only after confessing her plots against Cymbeline and Imogen. After everyone assembles at court, Iachimo confesses his crime against Posthumus and Imogen, causing Posthumus to reveal his identity and lament his mistake. Imogen’s identity is then uncovered, and the two are reunited. Guiderius confesses that he killed Cloten, and in order to save him from execution, Belarius reveals that his sons are really Cymbeline’s. After all these reunions, Cymbeline offers to make peace with Rome. 7 Cymbeline is supported in part by an Access to Artistic Excellence Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. About the Playwright William Shakespeare No man’s life has been the subject of more speculation than William Shakespeare’s. While Shakespearean scholars have dedicated their lives to the search for evidence, the truth is that no one really knows what the truth is. Scholars agree that a William Shakespeare was baptized at Stratfordupon-Avon on April 26, 1564. Tradition holds that he was born three days earlier, on April 23—the same date on which, 52 years later, he was recorded to have died. On November 27, 1582, a marriage license was granted to 18-year-old William and 26-year-old Anne Hathaway. A daughter, Susanna, was born to the couple six months later. We know that twins, Hamnet and Judith, were born soon after and were baptized. What we do not know is how the young Shakespeare came to travel to London and how he first came to the stage. Whatever the truth may be, it is clear that in the years between 1582 and 1592 someone calling himself William Shakespeare became involved in the London theatre scene and was a principal actor with one of several repertory companies. By 1592 Shakespeare had become prominent enough as a playwright to engender professional jealousy. A rival playwright, Robert Greene, wrote snidely of an “upstart crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his tiger’s heart wrapped in a player’s hide supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you, and being an absolute Johannes-factotum is in his own conceit the only Shakescene in a country.” In the years between 1591 and 1593, the theatres of London were temporarily shut down due to an outbreak of plague; Shakespeare turned his considerable talents to sonnet writing and acquired a patron, the young Lord Southampton, to whom two of his poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, are dedicated. In 1594 Shakespeare was listed as a stockholder in the Lord Chamberlain’s Men; he was a member of this company for the rest of his career, which lasted until approximately 1611. When James I came to the throne in 1603, he issued a royal license to Shakespeare and his fellow players, inviting them to call themselves The King’s Men. The King’s Men leased the Blackfriar’s Theatre in London in 1608. This theatre, which had artificial lighting and was probably heated, served as their winter playhouse. The famous Globe Theatre was their summer performance space. In the years since Shakespeare’s death, he had fallen to the depths of obscurity only to be resurrected as the greatest writer of English literature and drama. In the 1800s, his plays were so popular that many refused to believe that an actor from Stratford had written them. To this day some believe that Sir Francis Bacon was the real author of the plays; others argue that Edward DeVere, the Earl of Oxford, was the man. Still others contend that Sir Walter Raleigh or Christopher Marlowe penned the lines attributed to Shakespeare. Whether the plays were written by Shakespeare the man or Shakespeare the myth, it is clear that no other playwright has made such a significant and lasting contribution to the English language.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company enjoys national and international renown as “the nation’s foremost Shakespeare company” (The Wall Street Journal) producing “a repertory of classics that no New York theatre of similar size and scale can match” (The New York Times). The Company’s noted company of classical actors regularly includes such distinguished guest artists as Jane Alexander, Elizabeth Ashley, Avery Brooks, Kathleen Chalfant, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Keir Dullea, Jonathan Hadary, Harry Hamlin, Hal Holbrook, Tom Hulce, Stacy Keach, Sabrina LeBeauf, Jean LeClerc, Judith Light, Victor Love, Marsha Mason, Kelly McGillis, Patrick Page, Jean Stapleton, Patrick Stewart, Richard Thomas, Joan van Ark, Geraint Wyn Davies and Karen Ziemba. The 2010-2011 season features three plays by Shakespeare: All’s Well That Ends Well, Cymbeline and The Merchant of Venice. In addition, STC is producing the glittering musical Candide, Harold Pinter’s Old Times and Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. This fall we also enjoy the tremendous versatility of Sidney Harman Hall, which plays host to a variety of art forms. VelocityDC—our second annual showcase for dance –returned in October, along with the second season of NT Live, a series of performances broadcast in HD from London’s National Theatre. Live performances include The Great Game: Afghanistan, one of the most exciting works of theatre to come out of London in recent years, and Black Watch. Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For All Started in 1991 to engage new and diverse audiences, the Free For All has presented free Shakespeare to approximately 575,000 area residents. Its contribution to the community has been recognized with both The Washington Post Distinguished Service Award and the Public Humanities Award from the Humanities Council of Washington, D.C. The move to Sidney Harman Hall increased the Metro-accessibility of the event, prevents weather-related cancellations and allows the Shakespeare Theatre Company to maintain the artistic integrity of Free For All productions thanks to the state-of-the-art capabilities of Sidney Harman Hall. The change in venues also allows the Company to host a variety of family-friendly events to coincide with Free For All performances. For additional information on the change, please visit ShakespeareTheatre.org. Education Consistent with the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s central mission—to be the leading force in producing and preserving the highest quality classic theatre— 24 the Education Department is positioned as both a local and national resource. We strive to deepen the understanding of, appreciation of and connection to classic theatre in diverse learners of all ages through accessible programs that celebrate multiple perspectives. The education programs of STC challenge all learners to explore the ideas, emotions and principles contained in classic texts and to discover the correlations between classic theatre and our modern perceptions. We seek to fulfill this mission through strengthening our collaborations with schools and other organizations locally and nationally, engaging in scholarly dialogue with community and audience members and increasing our use of technology. Text Alive!, a curriculum enrichment program, works with public school teachers in D.C., Virginia and Maryland to make Shakespeare and his works accessible to young audiences. ShakesPEERS, a community outreach initiative, provides a nurturing environment during non-school hours for young people from the D.C. public schools to explore their creative voices through a foundation of collaboration, craftsmanship, citizenship and community. With its broad range of programs—including Classics in the Classroom, Students for Shakespeare, Windows, Master Acting Classes, Professional Internships, SHAKESPEARIENCE, Re:ACT and Theatre History Initiative—the Company’s Education Department is an innovative and creative community resource.

Under the guidance of Michael Kahn and with an MFA degree accredited through The George Washington University, the ACA teaches actors how to integrate the emotional, physical and imaginative life of a role with the technical skills needed to express to the fullest Shakespeare’s dramatic texts as well as many other classical playwrights. During 11 months of intensive study, ACA training includes voice, speech, acting, text, mask, Alexander Technique, movement, clown and stage combat. Since 2001, ACA has graduated more than 100 actors who are now performing on stages in New York, Washington, D.C. and across the country. Annual Support Donors make a difference.
