One of Shakespeare`s late romances - along with Pericles, The Tempest and The Winter`s Tale - Cymbeline tells three connected stories: the resistance of a British king to Roman rule; the story of two lovers Imogen and Posthumous driven apart by the lies of the villainous Jachimo; and the tale of two young princes kidnapped from the royal household and raised in the wild. Weaving together themes from Shakespeare`s greatest comedies and tragedies, this is a play in which disguise and misunderstanding eventually give way to revelation and reconciliation.
