‘It’s three hours, but it’s action-packed’: How the cast of Cymbeline navigates one of Shakespeare’s most eventful plays

“I warn my friends before they come — I’m like, ‘it’s a long show!’” says Jordin Hall, who plays Posthumus in Stratford's Cymbeline. “And then by the end, they’re all usually like: ‘it didn’t feel that long.’ That’s the greatest compliment they can give us — that we kept them hooked for three hours of crazy, not-often-done Shakespeare.”
