Cymbeline by William Shakespeare is a fascinating blend of romance, intrigue, mistaken identity, betrayal, and reconciliation. The play moves through dramatic twists and emotional conflicts while combining elements of tragedy, comedy, and adventure.

Shakespeare fills the story with memorable characters and explores themes of loyalty, jealousy, forgiveness, and love with his usual richness of language and imagination.

Cymbeline tells the story of a British king, Cymbeline, and his three children, presented as though they are in a fairy tale. The secret marriage of Cymbeline's daughter, Imogen, triggers much of the action, which includes villainous slander, homicidal jealousy, cross-gender disguise, a deathlike trance, and the appearance of Jupiter in a vision.
