Program Note
King Cymbeline, leader of the Briton Motorcycle Club, clashes with the corrupt Roman Police while his radiant but disobedient daughter Imogen fends off assaults on her honor and her life. Cymbeline’s wife and her son aspire to take over the king’s empire, and Imogen’s marriage to Posthumus is undermined by sinister interference from Iachimo, a malevolent stranger. Shakespeare’s timeless themes are love and betrayal, revenge and forgiveness, death and renewal. Cymbeline, also known as Cymbeline, King of Britain, is a play by William Shakespeare set in Ancient Britain. The film unfolds as an epic battle between dirty cops and a drug dealing biker gang set in a corruption-riddled 21st century America. In the vein of Sons of Anarchy and in the style of Romeo and Juliet, Cymbeline is a fresh take on a universal story of love, betrayal and revenge. Cymbeline is the director Michael Almereyda’s second adaptation of Shakespeare’s play since Hamlet in 2002.
