Two more weeks for Fiasco Theater’s Widely-Acclaimed Production of Cymbeline Now Thru January 15 at Barrow Street Theatre

For Immediate Release Please

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 – CYMBELINE IS EXTENDING! FIASCO THEATER’S PRODUCTION OF CYMBELINE WILL CONTINUE ITS SMASHING ENGAGEMENT AT THE BARROW STREET THEATRE FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS THROUGH JANUARY 15.

Cymbeline, a critics’ pick just about everywhere, had been scheduled to close January 1, but surging ticket demand and a little juggling of schedules, has given the show another two weeks to entertain audiences of all ages.

Fiasco Theater’s production of Cymbeline, co-directed by Fiasco Theater’s Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld, is presented by Theatre for a New Audience, Jeffrey Horowitz, Artistic Director, Scott Morfee, Jean Doumanian and Tom Wirtshafter. Cymbeline‘s 14 roles are performed by the original company: Jessie Austrian, Paul L. Coffey, Andy Grotelueschen, Emily Young and Messrs. Brody and Steinfeld.

Critic’s pick! “THE MOST TRULY ENCHANTING CYMBELINE I’VE SEEN. EXQUISITE.” -Ben Brantley, New York Times

“The Fiasco Company brings joyful music, playful inventiveness and just an air-kiss of irony to Shakespeare’s mock-epic. They remind us what theater, at its simplest and most powerful, is really for: the alchemical thrill of watching an entire work conjured into being out of sheer wit and will. A small masterpiece.” -Scott Brown, New York Magazine

“A playful and inspired work of art.” – The New Yorker
