The electric charge of a change in the weather // you were touching my arm // you were holding a feather // and then I opened my eyes And the world goes racing suddenly changed // as the shock of the accent leaves you trembling

I realized 70% of the way through this that I had posed them in such a way that you cannot see either Innogen or Augustine’s engagement/wedding rings. I don’t know if that’s symbolic but it happened. We can focus on the intimacy of the gloveless hand and untied cravat instead, ok??

Where do I find the wild Cymbeline fans?

Can we talk about what an epic multifaceted heroine Innogen/Imogen is?

Can we talk about Posthumus, masculinity, the agony of redemption, and the fact that finally someone in Shakespeare realizes OUT LOUD that a woman's life is worth more than just her chastity?

Do we think Iachimo has ever had half the seductive power he thinks he has?

Does anyone else get emotional about Belarius or is that just me?

How about a grieving king who takes on a horribly inadequate substitute for his lost children and looks right past that substitute's obvious faults, thereby jeopardizing his relationship with his only remaining child?

Doesn't Pisanio deserve so much better?

I want to talk. Hit me up if you have Thoughts.

Fellow Shakespeareans, what do you call the heroine of CYMBELINE? Imogen or Innogen?

I’m directing a staged reading next month, and I’m now having second thoughts about my protagonist’s name. Which do you prefer? 

(For some context: Innogen was a real name before Cymbeline was written. Imogen was not. A lot of people believe that the ‘Imogen’ spelling in the First Folio was a mistake or a misunderstanding.)

I found myself an omen and I tattooed on a sign I set my mind a wandering and I walk a broken line You have a mind to keep me quiet And although you can try, Better men have hit their knees And bigger men have died
