This historical drama follows the trials and tribulations of Imogen, the daughter of Cymbeline, King of ancient Britain. Beset by false accusations of disloyalty she travels to seek out her exiled husband. Along the way she discovers the fate of her long lost brothers, and after a fierce battle between the Romans and the Britains, her loyalty to husband, father and country are finally revealed.

This production of Cymbeline comes from the long standing home school theater company, A Catch of Shadows, started by a home school student Laura Wilson who was dedicated to high quality student productions. It is presented in partnership with AFE, the home school program of Santa Cruz city schools. Laura, who now attends graduate school at UC Santa Barbara, passes the directorial baton in this production to long time Catch of Shadows actor Paul Johnson, now a theater major at Cabrillo College. He is assisted by AFE senior Conner Quinto. Judy Reveaux-Wright, AFE Shakespeare instructor and enthusiast, serves as Producer. Come support this cast of home schoolers and enjoy an evening of classical theater
