Free public theater in the park, Great cast, Thoroughly enjoyable, Great performance

See it if This Sept. 2022 show was great performance of one of Shakespeare's less popular plays. NY Classical did a great job at Brooklyn Commons.

Don't see it if You dislike Shakespeare or performances that require you sit in the grass. Each cast member plays multiple parts. Definitely worth your time

Great staging, Great acting, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if A delightful way to spend an evening outdoors. It was well directed n staged. 7 able actors play double roles n moved the play clearly.

Don't see it if You are looking for musicals n don’t like to sit outside for 2 hrs. But u don’t have to move around much, just shift the seat front or back.

Don't see it if you dislike Shakesp, altho 6 yo near me was enchanted fr start to finish. Improbable plot has a satisfying conclusion. Well-trimmed script. Read more

Don't see it if If you don't need to see Cymbaline again or don't like Shakespeare. Don't like picnic type play settings Read more

Mobile, Quirky, Outdoors, Ambitious, Clever

See it if You want something different with play being set in different parts of the park. Actors do a great job playing multiple roles w/ few props.

Don't see it if You don’t like Cymboline, don’t want to sit on the ground in the park, or if you have mobility issues as you need to get up and move.

Safe, Inventive, Entertaining, Slow, Clever

See it if you'd be impressed by any production that manages to make Cymbeline comprehensible, even if it sacrifices some of the absurdity for clarity.

Don't see it if you might be off-put by elements of Burdman's "panoramic" outdoor staging, such as visible costume changes and frequent seating shifts. Read more
