With a couple of theater companies staging productions of the Bard of Avon’s work in the coming months, here’s a primer on which show is right for you. And mark your calendars for this summer, when Commonwealth Shakespeare Company stages Cymbeline for the first time as its annual Shakespeare on the Common production.

Running: March 1-31 at Huntington Avenue Theatre
