The Marlowe Society’s centenary celebrations reach their peak with a production of Cymbeline, directed by Marlowe alumnus Trevor Nunn. Although he has never directed the play before, he acted in the 1960 Society production, directed by the legendary ‘Dadie’ Rylands, alongside fellow students Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Derek Jacobi and Margaret Drabble.
‘The Marlowe Society has had more influence on the British theatre than, I think, anybody knows’ Sir Peter Hall
Cymbeline is one of Shakespeare’s magical romances, written at the end of his writing lifetime. It is full of narrative surprises: a wicked Queen, a pair of lovers, a cunning Italian, a Roman invasion, not one but two lost sons, a mysterious prophecy, and a gender changing heroine who fakes her own death – all reconciled in a virtuoso display of plot resolution in the last scene.
Past alumni of the Marlowe Society include Rachel Weisz, Griff Rhys Jones, Simon Russell Beale and Sam Mendes.

Le celebrazioni del centenario della Marlowe Society raggiungono il culmine con la messa in scena di Cymbeline, diretta dall'ex-allievo Trevor Nunn. Sebbene egli non abbia mai diretto la commedia prima d'ora, recitò nel 1960 nella messinscena della Società diretta dal leggendario 'Dadie' Rylands, con altri studenti quali Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Derek Jacobi e Margaret Drabble.
"La Marlowe Society ha più influenza sul teatro britannico, credo, di quanto chiunque immagini" - Sir Peter Hall.
Cymbeline è uno dei romance magici di Shakespeare, scritto alla fine della sua carriera di drammaturgo. E' pieno di sorprese narrative: una regina malvagia, una coppia di amanti, un astuto italiano, un'invasione romana, non uno, ma due figli smarriti, una misteriosa profezia e un'eroina en travesti che finge la propria morte - il tutto riconciliato in un virtuosismo di dénouement nell'ultima scena.
Fra gli ex-allievi della Marlowe Society citiamo Rachel Weisz, Griff Rhys Jones, Simon Russell Beale e Sam Mendes.
