Cymbeline by William Shakespeare
"Cymbeline" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1611. Set in Ancient Britain, it follows Princess Imogen, secretly married to Posthumus Leonatus against her father King Cymbeline's wishes. When Posthumus is banished, a wager tests his faith in Imogen's virtue, leading to deception, disguise, and false accusations. As political tensions with Rome escalate and long-lost heirs unknowingly resurface, layers of betrayal and mistaken identity unfold across Britain and Italy, setting the
stage for eventual revelation and reconciliation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
