Jason King Jones talks about how William Shakespeare's first collection of plays, the First Folio, have traditionally been divided into three categories: comedies, histories, and tragedies. But modern practitioners often list a fourth category for his plays that do not easily fit into the original paradigm — romances. These plays often feature the most complex characters and nuanced plots, including one being produced for the first time this year at Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, Cymbeline.
Ticket and information about Cymbeline at this year's festival can be found at the festival website.
