"Cymbeline: Tragédie" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1611. Set in Ancient Britain, it follows Princess Imogen, who secretly marries Posthumus Leonatus against her father King Cymbeline's wishes. When Posthumus is banished, a cunning wager tests Imogen's faithfulness, leading to false accusations, disguises, and mistaken identities.
