PLOT SUMMARY

When King Cymbeline’s daughter, Imogen, marries Posthumus against her father’s wishes, she ignites a chain of events that will test her loyalty and courage. Banished from the kingdom, Posthumus falls prey to the scheming Iachimo, who bets he can seduce Imogen and prove her unfaithful. Meanwhile, the evil Queen plots to secure the throne for her son, Cloten, who has his own plans for Imogen.

As Britain stands on the brink of war with Rome, hidden identities are revealed, and long-lost princes return. Battles rage, destinies collide, and forgiveness triumphs over vengeance. With its mix of romance, comedy and tragedy, Cymbeline is a timeless adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final scene.
