A little project I've been working on... More in A little project I've been working on... More in the comments... #Repost @fmshakes1 • • • • • • OK, so I’ve finally got the script for a new project to a point where I need a reading to see if it works. I need nine readers for a project called “7-Player Cymbeline (a performance piece for 8 performers)”.... The eight performers plus one for substantial stage directions. It's (obviously) based on Shakespeare's late-period play. What's not so obvious is its inclusion of some final-scene material from George Bernard Shaw's "Cymbeline Refinished" ... and some added preliminary material from me... and a wholelotta cutting. How much cutting? The goal is to play this in less than 100 minutes without an intermission in a run-and-gun style. There are thirty parts divided over the seven players (the eighth player is a kind of onstage stage manager/god (no, not kidding). PLAYER 1 Imogen (daughter to Cymbeline); a Briton soldier/jailer PLAYER 2 Posthumus (husband to Imogen); Cloten (son to the present queen); Cornelius/ia (a physician in Cymbeline’s court); a royal attendant; a Roman captain PLAYER 3 Cymbeline (King of Britain); Cloten's attendant lord; another royal attendant PLAYER 4 Pisanio/ia (Posthumus’s servant); Philario/ia (Posthumus’s host in Rome); the ghost of one of Posthumus’s brothers; another Roman captain; a gentleman of Cymbeline's court/Briton lord PLAYER 5 Iachimo (friend to Philario); Guiderius/ia (child of Cymbeline by his former queen--living in the woods under the name of Polydor); Sicilius (the ghost of Posthumus’s father); a Briton soldier/captain; a messenger PLAYER 6 Cymbeline’s Queen; Belarius/ia (an exiled noble-person--under the name of Morgan); the ghost of Posthumus’s mother; Philarmonus/a (a Roman soothsayer) PLAYER 7 Caius Lucius (a Roman general); Arviragus/ia (child of Cymbeline by his former queen--living in the woods under the name of Cadwal); the ghost of another of Posthumus’s brothers; another gentleman of Cymbeline's court This experiment ...
