Midsommer Flight celebrates its 11th season of free Shakespeare in Chicago parks with Cymbeline. The play has true love, adventure, disguised identities, adulterous schemes, an evil stepmother queen, and even a potion whose effects mimic death. There are also timely questions of equity, gender roles, power, and deceit.
