Gregory Doran: Staging Shakespeare鈥檚 Cymbeline
Behind the scenes of the Royal Shakespeare Company鈥檚 new production
Nick Ahad follows the Royal Shakespeare鈥檚 Company鈥檚 new production of Cymbeline, the final play in Shakespeare鈥檚 First Folio - a collection that鈥檚 celebrating its 400th anniversary this year.
Acclaimed and award-winning Shakespearean, Gregory Doran, has directed every play in the First Folio except Cymbeline. For him it鈥檚 one of Shakespeare鈥檚 most complex creations and he will be directing it for the first time as his swansong, as the Royal Shakespeare Company鈥檚 artistic director emeritus. From the start of the production鈥檚 rehearsal period until its first performance, we follow Gregory and his team as they get to grips with a play criticised and celebrated for its genre-busting, location-hopping, multiple plotlines, topped by the appearance of the god Jupiter descending from the heavens on an eagle.
