Director Jennifer Tang on theatre in 2025, gender-swapping and her 'slightly bonkers' Cymbeline
Born in the South East of England to Cantonese parents and permanently fostered by a white British family, director Jennifer Tang is a champion of the underrepresented. And her involvement in the casting of her brand new production of Cymbeline at London's Sam Wanamaker Playhouse has ensured the spectacle is teeming with diversity. In terms of the Shakespearean canon, the play itself has been somewhat underrepresented over the centuries, so perhaps this is a perfect pairing.
