Preview Performance (they will be testing the techie workings of the production)
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Mellon Park (Point Breeze/Shadyside neighborhood)
8PM (no late seating, gates lock at 8 sharp)Quantum Theatre’s upcoming production is Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, which runs in Mellon Park from July 31-Aug 24. It is truly innovative in that Karla Boos — the director and Quantum founder — is collaborating with Illah Nourbakhsh at the Robotics Institute at CMU to integrate interactive technology into the production.
We can’t spill any more secrets than that, except to say that this event is sure to be a wonder.

I’ve enjoyed some of the recent new treatments of some of Shakespeare’s classics: see the comments on my blog relating to OSF’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I don’t know much about this play, but I’m definitely intrigued.
